THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

Once upon a time, there lived an ant and a grasshopper in a grassy meadow by the river. It was
during the hot summer season when the ant was toiling hard by collecting wheat grains from
the farmer’s field.
The ant would work hard all day long from dawn to dusk collecting the heavy grain well
balanced on her back. She would then put the wheat grain in her larder carefully and rush back to
the field to collect another grain. She would scurry back and forth between the field and her
larder, often repeating this task the whole day.
On the other hand, there was a grasshopper in the grassy meadow who would spend all his time
in singing and dancing. He would often scorn at the ant for toiling so hard the entire day in
collecting the grains. He would frequently call the ant to join him in singing, dancing and making
merry at the present time.
However, the ant would ignore him and continue with her work. This would make the
grasshopper laugh even louder and he would often ridicule the ant stating that they have
enough food to sustain themselves in summer.
Hearing this, the ant said that she was saving some food for the cold season and recommended the
grasshopper to follow the same. The grasshopper didn’t pay heed to her words and continued
singing and dancing merrily.
Soon summer faded to autumn and autumn to winter. It became freezing cold outside due to
snowfall and the sun was barely visible and the nights were long and dark. Out of cold, the
grasshopper lost his interest in singing and making merry. He was cold and hungry and had no
place to take shelter from the snow outside. He wondered how to save himself from this tough
situation.
Suddenly he remembered about the ant and visited her for some food and shelter. Off he went
to her place and knocked at her door for help. When she opened the door, the grasshopper
offered to sing for her in return for some food and shelter.
To this, the ant replied that she had toiled hard in summer to save enough food for winter and
the grasshopper had mocked her then. She gently asked him to sing somewhere else and earn
his food and shelter. It is then, the grasshopper realised that he should have saved up enough
for the winter instead of wasting his time being lazy during summer in singing and dancing
around.
