THE GRASS HOPPER
The Ant and the Grasshopper
In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; "We have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.
When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger - while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for days of need.

Around the House
There are many things around the house that you should consider taking with you if you need to leave.You should make a list of these items ,so when you need to leave you can check them off your list. Your bicycle ,wagon,and hand tools should be on the list.Large plastic garbage bags,silk stockings,rubber bands,paper clips and house hold scissors can have many different uses in a emergency situation. Sit with your family and brainstorm about the items that may be needed,talk to other families that store and get ideas from them,you can never have to many ideas.Spend one day a month learning with and teaching survival skills to your family.Practice the skills you have learned,have a competition and see who can start a fire without matches the fastest.
