ClassX Video Lessons Youtube Channel TutoringHour Synonyms for Kids | Who Is the Real Synonym Superstar: the Ant or the Grasshopper?
Once upon a time in the insect kingdom, there lived a very clever grasshopper. He loved words and thought he was the best at knowing synonyms. Synonyms are words that mean the same thing, like “happy” and “joyful.”
One day, the grasshopper boasted, “I’m the splendid synonym superstar! No one is as smart as me!”
Mr. Ant, who was nearby, heard this and decided to challenge the grasshopper. “I can prove you wrong, Mr. Grasshopper!” said Mr. Ant confidently.
The grasshopper replied, “Alright, Mr. Ant. For every word I say, you have to say another word that means the same. Let’s see how good you are!”
The game began, and Mr. Grasshopper started with some words:
Mr. Ant listened carefully and then took his turn:
The grasshopper was impressed but wanted to switch roles. “Now you say the word, and I’ll say the synonym,” he suggested.
Mr. Ant started with his words:
Mr. Grasshopper continued:
As the sun began to set, Mr. Grasshopper said, “Oh, it’s getting late. I’ll catch you later, Mr. Ant.”
“Bye-bye, Mr. Grasshopper!” replied Mr. Ant. “By the way, the word is ‘sad.’” They both laughed and agreed to practice more.
Mr. Ant realized he needed to practice synonyms every day. He suggested, “Why don’t you visit www.tutoringhour.com? That’s where I learned my synonyms.”
Mr. Grasshopper agreed, “Thank you! I think I need practice too.”
