The Ants And The Grasshopper
Aesop Fable: The Ants And The Grasshopper
The ants were spending a fine winter’s day drying grain
collected in the summertime. A grasshopper, perishing with
famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food.
The ants inquired of him, "why did you not treasure up
food during the summer?"
he replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days
in singing."
they then said in derision: "if you were foolish enough
to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed
in the winter."
