The
Ant and the Grasshopper
"Why not come and chat with me instead of toiling and moiling in
that way?" said the Grasshopper.
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the
Ant, "I recommend you to do the same."
When winter came, the Grasshopper had no
food and found he was dying of hunger. The ants were
distributing corn and grain from the stores they had collected
in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:It is
best to prepare for the days of necessity.
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper. “We have got
plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and
continued its toil.
In a field on a summer day, a Grasshopper was hopping
about. He was chirping and singing to his heart's content. An
Ant passed by. He was dragging along an ear of corn. He was
taking it to the nest.
