The Ant and the Grasshopper
In a field one summer's day, Geasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to his heart's content.Ant passed by,carrying along a stalk of wheat, which he was taking to his home.
Grasshopper saw Ant's great effort and said:"Why not come and chat with me,instead of working so hard all day long?We can dance and play together".
Ant answered:"I am working to gather and save food for the winter. I suggest you do the same".
"Why bother about winter?" asked Grasshopper."We have plenty of food at present.Let's have some fun. Don't be so foolish and waste your time working". But Ant went on its way and continued its work.
When the winter came, Grasshopper had no food, In fact,he was starving and cold. He passed Ant's home,looked inside,and saw Ant eating some wheat.Ant had all the wheat that he had collected and stored in the summer.Ant was not hungry because he had gathered enough food to survive the winter.He was resting and enjoying his food snug in his home.
Grasshopper asked Ant for some food.He said that he was cold and hungry.Ant replied,"You didn't work this summer.You sang and dance.You didn't follow my advice.You called me foolish.So now it is my turn to call you foolish".
Then the Grasshopper knew:It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.
