The Ant and the Grasshopper

Illustrated by Scott Roberto
In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was
hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's
content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great
toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

"Why not come and chat with me," said the

Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that

way?"
"I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the
Ant, "and recommend you to do the same."
"Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we
have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went
on its way and continued its toil.
When the winter came the Grasshopper found itself
dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing,
every day, corn and grain from the stores they had
collected in the summer.

Then the Grasshopper knew...

It is best to prepare for the days of

necessity.
