There were once two brothers who lived on
the edge of a forest. The elder brother was very mean to his younger brother
and ate up all the food and took all his good clothes.
One day, the elder brother went into the
forest to find some firewood to sell in the market. As he went around chopping
the branches of a tree after tree, he came upon a magical tree. The tree said
to him, ‘Oh kind sir, please do not cut my branches. If you spare me, I will
give you my golden apples’. The elder brother agreed but was disappointed with
the number apples the tree gave him. Greed overcame him, and he threatened to
cut the entire trunk if the tree didn’t give him more apples. The magical tree
instead showered upon the elder brother hundreds upon hundreds of tiny needles.
The elder brother lay on the ground crying in pain as the sun began to lower
down the horizon.
The younger brother grew worried and went
in search of his elder brother. He found him with hundreds of needles on his
skin. He rushed to his brother and removed each needle with painstaking love.

Grasshoppers are leaping insects that are
found all over the world. They live mostly in forests or grasslands, but they
are also common in gardens. Their brown or green coloring helps them blend in
with the plants and dirt around them. Grasshoppers are closely related to
crickets.
Compared to many other insects,
grasshoppers are large. Some are more than 4 inches (11 centimeters) long.
Grasshoppers have long hind legs that are good for jumping. They have antennas,
or feelers, on their heads that they use to touch and smell. They also have
special eyes that allow them to see in all directions at once.
Grasshoppers usually hop or crawl, but most
kinds can fly. Most grasshoppers eat only plants. Some kinds, such as locusts,
move in swarms and destroy farmers’ crops.
Usually only male grasshoppers chirp or
sing. They make their song by rubbing their wings together or by rubbing their
hind legs against their front wings. The song is the male’s way of calling
females.
Birds, frogs, snakes, and other animals eat
grasshoppers. In some parts of the world people eat them, too. They are served
dried, jellied, roasted, or ground into a meal.
