One beautiful, sunny day, a small grasshopper was sitting in a lush meadow. He felt very safe in his surroundings because he was the same shade of bright green as the grass around him. He lazily watched as bumblebees and colorful butterflies danced from one fragrant flower to another around him.<\/p>\n
Then the grasshopper noticed a small field mouse. He was very restless and nervous-looking. He kept looking behind his back and to the sides and was constantly looking for a new hiding place. The grasshopper realized it was because the mouse was afraid of the fox that roamed the meadow.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo one will discover me here!\u201d the grasshopper shouted. \u201cWhen I sit on a blade of grass, no one can see me because I blend right in!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m invisible to everyone!\u201d he went on, shouting in the direction of the frightened mouse. \u201cI feel so\u2026 free! I can sit here, dance, sing, even jump! No one will find me! I have the best camouflage in the whole world!\u201d<\/p>\n
Out of his mind with arrogance, the grasshopper didn\u2019t even notice that someone that was also as green as the grass was getting closer.<\/p>\n
Before the grasshopper could even sense the danger, the little field mouse whistled loudly.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrasshopper, watch out!\u201d he said. \u201cThere\u2019s a frog in the grass that wants to eat you!\u201d<\/p>\n
The grasshopper saw the frog and was able to get to safety just in time. He hopped over to the little field mouse.<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, little mouse!\u201d said the grasshopper. \u201cYou saved me with your caution! From now on, I\u2019m going to stop bragging so much and be more mindful.\u201d<\/p>\n
