One day, the winter was coming. All grass and plants were covered with snow.
The ant and his family enjoyed their food in their home along that season and they had no need to
get out finding any food because they had enough food to be eaten until the next season.
How about the grasshopper?
Because the grasshopper had no food and home like the ant, the grasshopper could not stand
living in the snow in which the snow was covering all of the grass and plants.
The grasshopper was frozen and dying in hunger.
