Once an ant worked hard from sunrise to sunset building his burrow and accumulating supplies for the long winter that approached.
The grasshopper saw that and he thought, “That idiot! We can sing some songs and dance awhile.”
And the whole time he spent laughing heartily, singing and dancing. Then all summer the grasshopper spent having a wonderful time while the ant continued working harder and harder.
When the winter arrived, while the ant was warm and well-fed, the grasshopper had neither shelter nor food and went to the ant’s house and asked, “Can I have some wheat or any food? Without it, I will starve.”
“You danced last summer,” said the ants in disgust. “You can continue to dance.” And they gave him no food. Then he died.
Moral: Work hard! Be sensible and responsible because there is a time to work and a time to play.
