cricket and ants --- happy end?!

by samurai_tofu @ 12/12/2006 - 00:04:48

Today, i read "cricket and ants" with my son (Year 2) which was given to him to read for this week with other 2 books.
"Oh, small world. The same everywhere" i thought.

The book goes,

In the summer, cricket sings and plays and laughs at ants who collect foods for winter.

Winter came and cricket runs out of food and shivers.

Meanwhile, ants were preparing their party underground.
One ant says "something is missing for our party. ??? entertaiment!"
The other says "Cricket!"

The ants went to the cricket to invite him to sing songs at their party.

They enjoyed the party very much, especially cricket, of course!
Warm place and plenty of foods!!! But...

party was over and cricket got sad as he had to go.

When cricket was about to leave reluctantly, ants said
"why not stay with us for the whole winter and play music for us!"
"oh! yes! thank you!!!" "you are welcome!" !!! -END-

????? what is this book all about?????

You should do what you are good at and exchange your products/service?

The book was published by "Jolly Learning Ltd".

How about "A completely different culture may turn out to have excellent values of its own, so don't laugh too soon."?

No, I don't laugh.

But it is interesting.
Yes, old children's stories are often severe, as they try to tell them lessons and they are often retold differently in our countries too.
But it is the first time for me to read this version of the ant and the cricket.

The publisher may-be wants to say that we have to be kind to people even when they were not good.
