Question 1 of 3
Read the short story: During a warm summer, an ant worked hard every day, gathering crumbs and storing them in its nest. A grasshopper spent the same days hopping and singing, saying, “There’s plenty of food now, so I’ll just enjoy the sunshine.” When winter arrived, the snow covered the ground. The ant had enough food to eat, but the grasshopper was cold and hungry. What is the main lesson the author wants readers to learn?
Question 2 of 3
Read the two short summaries below. Myth 1 – Icarus (Greek): Icarus and his father Daedalus made wings from feathers and wax. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, but Icarus felt proud and flew higher. The sun melted his wings and he fell into the sea. Myth 2 – The Boastful Rabbit (African folktale): A rabbit bragged that he could outrun any animal. He boasted loudly while hunting with the other animals. Because he ran away from the group, he fell into a hunter’s trap and was caught. Which answer best compares how these two myths convey the same central message?
Question 3 of 3
Read the short story: The hare bragged that he could run very fast. He challenged the tortoise to a race. The hare ran ahead, then stopped to nap, thinking he would still win. The tortoise kept moving slowly but never stopped, and crossed the finish line first. What is the central lesson of this story?
