POLLY, THE ARROGANT GRASSHOPPER

Polly, the grasshopper lived in a bug’s village. But no bugs liked him because he was very arrogant. He always thought himself as the richest bug in the village.

One day, when he was walking along the village, he met Beebee, the bee. Beebee greeted him, but as usual he never answered any bugs greeting.

“What an arrogant bug he is!” grumbles Beebee.

And also when he saw Neenee, an old ladybug fell on the road. He did not help her. He let the old lady alone. He did not pity her.

“Polly, please help me. I’m hurt.” Ask Neenee. But Polly just grinned. He did nothing, just grinned. So Neenee tried herself to stand up unsteadily.

Several days later, Polly bought a motorcycle. He showed it off to the villagers.

“They will be jealous seeing that I have a motorcycle.” said himself.

When he was riding his new motorcycle, he saw Any, the ant was riding his bicycle.

“Ha…ha…ha…., it’s time for me to mock him. I’m gonna surprise him”

So then he pushed the horn so loudly. It made Any surprised even shocked and he stumbled on to the road. And his bicycle hit the tree and it was badly damage. Fortunately Any was alright.

“God damn it, you ugly stinking Polly!! Said Any angrily.

Polly laughed cheerfully seeing Any fell from his bike. He just kept going on his motorbike. When he passed by a little worm playing with his toys, he ran over his toys and he let him crying all alone.

Father worm saw that and he got very mad.

“You ugly son of a gun, Polly! Come here. Don’t run away!” Father worm shouted.

So, father worm tried to persuade his weeping son.

“Don’t cry, son. Don’t worry, I’ll make that one again for you. It will even be more beautiful than before.” Said father worm.

Arrogantly, Polly increased the speed. His motorbike ran very fast then. But he forgot that he could not ride it very well. So his motorbike fell into the river.

Fortunately, Polly could swim whereas his bike drowned into the river. He hurt. His head was bumped on the stone. He was wounded on his head.

“How pity I am. I lost my new bike.” Said Polly sadly.

Trying very hard to walk to the village, he came over Beebee’s house. He told everything. So Beebee help him to bandage his wound. Polly was very grateful that Beebee had helped him. He also apologized to Beebee, because he had hurt his heart. And Beebee said:

“Being a creature, we must not be arrogant and selfish. It’s not a good manner.” advised Beebee to Polly.

Polly realized and promised he would never be arrogant and selfish anymore. Helped by the villagers, Beebee tried to pull Polly’s motorbike from the water.

Now, Polly’s personality has changed. He is friendly and helpful among bugs. Every bug loves him.
