Alliteration Practice

The Unready Unprepared Grasshopper
By Jakob M. Scoll                                                                                  2/13/2015

     It was the spectacular, splendid, superb month of September.  All of the tough, tireless ants were gathering food for the bitterly bone-chilling winter.  The sluggish, slow, simple-minded, slothful grasshopper never dared to demonstrated the effort or exertion to diligently work as hard as the strong, strapping, sturdy ants did.  The grasshopper refused to even do so much as to attempt to venture.  All he did was play.

     “I have plenty of time”, the grasshopper foolishly assumed.   But before he knew it, the frosty, frigid, freezing, forbidding cold air came.  He could not find a minute minuscule morsel of food.


     The grasshopper quickly leaped to one of the ant’s miniature huts and thunderously cried, “Please, please let me in I am starving.” 

    
     But the ant carelessly responded, “after what you did, I won’t let you in for a hundred years.  “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” The grasshopper loudly screamed.  “I should have listened” he sadly muttered. 

     “Be prepared next time,” wisely said the clever ants.

    The End
