A.The Ant and the Grasshopper

In a beautiful spring, a Grasshopper was hopping about, dancing and singing his song. He saw an Ant, “What are you doing?” “I'm gathering some food and building a shelter for myself.”. The Grasshopper laughed and teased the Ant “Winter is far away and it is a glorious day to play. Why are you toiling? We have got plenty of food at present.” The Ant ignored him and continued his work. When the winter came the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while the Ant had corn and grain in the store he collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew...

It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.
