Sleepytime Stories With Steve

"The Ant and the Grasshopper" is an Aesop's fable about a grasshopper who spends the summer singing and playing while an ant works to store food for winter; when winter comes, the hungry grasshopper begs the ant for food, but the ant refuses, telling him to dance the winter away, teaching a lesson about the importance of hard work and preparation

There is no night so dark, so black as night in the country. And while the people dream of daytime things, the nighttime world awakens. Owls swoop, a rabbit patters, and in the yard an apple falls -- pump! -- from the tree.
Listen. Go to the window. Across the field a light glows. Who else is up so late? Who else watches and hears the sights and sounds of night in the country -- the many stirrings of silence, the many colors of the dark?

It's late at night, and the cheerful chatter of Moth, Frog, Cricket, and Mockingbird keeps a restless child awake. But the friendly wind and a cooperative cloud intervene to quiet all nighttime melodies and deliver a gentle "Good night."

With a little help from his friend Duck, Bear finds that even when his biggest (cookie-related!) worries do come true, it’s not the end of the world
