The Ant and the Grasshopper
A grasshopper was having a lovely day hopping about, chirping and singing, when an ant went by carrying an ear of corn. Why do you work so hard? asked the grasshopper. There is plenty of food to eat. Why dont you come and play? The ant replied that he was building up a food store for the winter when food would be less plentiful, and carried on working. When winter came the ants fed themselves from their collected food store, and the grasshopper starved to death. Moral: it is best to prepare for the days of necessity.
