A bee is an insect. It makes a buzzing sound. It buzzes. A bee gathers honey from flowers. A grasshopper is also an insects. It hops in the grass. That is why it is called a grasshopper.

Fiddle-de-dee!

Grasshoppers three

Rollicking over the meadow,

Scarcely the grass

Bends as they pass.

So fairy-light is their tread, O!

Said Grasshopper One,

«The summer is driving begun.

The sunshine is driving me crazy!»

Said Grasshopper Two.

«I fell just like you!»

And leapt to the top of a daisy.

«Please wait for me!»

Cried Grasshopper Three.

«My legs are ready for hopping!»

So grasshoppers three

Fiddle-de-dee.

Raced

All the day

Without

Stopping.
