In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about,chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by,bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to thenest. "Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper,"instead of toiling and moiling in that way?" "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant,"and recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have gotplenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way andcontinued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had nofood and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the antsdistributing every day corn and grain from the stores they hadcollected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.
