The Ant and the Grasshopper

During summer a hardworking ant gathered food for winter while a carefree grasshopper sang and played his fiddle. The ant warned him to prepare but he laughed it off. When winter came the ant stayed cozy with her stored food while the grasshopper struggled and begged for help. The ant shared but reminded him “If you had prepared like me you wouldn’t suffer now.” The story teaches the value of hard work and preparation over idleness and short-sighted joy.
