Children, would you like to fly like a
grasshopper? Why/Why not?

All the friends are happy and dream of flying with the
grasshopper.

Ramya : We have two legs to walk, jump and run
around. How many legs do you have?

Hoppi : Ahhh...... I have three pairs of strong legs.
I can jump and walk like you.

Rani : Hoppi, how do you escape from enemies?

Hoppi : Oh, they can't catch me so easily. I have five
eyes and a pair of antennae. The antennae
helps me to sense danger and I'll swiftly

escape.

Ramya : Now you're not trying to escape from us,
are you?

Hoppi : I'm your friend, right? I trust you. I'm
not scared. (The children and Hoppi start
playing)

Raju : (observing the body)......Hoppi, we have
two ears. Do you also have ears?
