TEXTO 2

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.

TEXTO 3

This book caught my attention because it shows that what seems worthless can actually change lives. The story portrays Jack and his mother's struggle to survive, highlighting courage and cleverness. Jack trades his cow for three magic beans, which grow up to the sky. There, he finds a castle with a dangerous giant. With the help of an old woman, Jack takes a hen that lays golden eggs and a magical harp. After escaping, he cuts down the beanstalk to stop the giant from following him. With the golden eggs, his life improves. The story shows that even in difficult times, we can find unexpected solutions. I recommend reading it, as it teaches us to value what we have.
