Ants and Grasshoppers

In a field, in the summer, a grasshopper was jumping for joy, chirping and singing to its
heart's content. Meanwhile an ant was passing by, carrying a lump of corn kernels
underneath it with difficulty to its nest.
"Why don't you just stay here and talk to me," said the Grasshopper, "rather than walking
around working hard like that??"
"I work to gather food to stock up for the winter," said the ant, "and set an example for you
so that you also gather food like me."
"Why should I bother worrying about winter," said the Grasshopper; "We've got plenty of
food by now." Even so the ant continued and continued to work hard.
When winter came, the grasshoppers starved to death, while the ants distributed daily corn
and wheat from their shop which they had collected last summer.
