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 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." |
|
|
"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. |
