Well,

The grasshopper had spent his time dancing and singing instead of collecting food for the winter period so he ended up with nothing to eat and would have to go to bed starved/very hungry (without eating dinner).

The grasshopper spent a lot of time dancing so the ants were joking that the grasshopper would probably go to bed dancing too. Since he hadn't collected any food, he would go dancing famished, this means with an empty belly.

This question has been asked and answered many times before.

There is a very useful search function at the top of this webpage.
If you type the words
hear listen
into the Google search box at the top of this page, then click on the 'Forum search' button (not the Google search button), then you will see a list of threads where this topic has already been discussed.

When you have done that, repeat the instructions, this time entering the words
end finish
into the Google search box.

They should help you.
