Moral story: The Ant and the Grasshopper

The ant and the Grasshopper

It was one frosty autumn day. Winter was about to set in. An ant was busy in storing away some kernels of wheat he had gathered during the summer days to live on them in the coming winter.

A grasshopper, half-perished from hunger, came limping by seeing the industrious and gathering food, he asked for a morsel from the ant’s store to save his life.

“What were you doing during summer while I was busy harvesting?” inquired the ant.

“Oh” replied the grasshopper, “I was not idle. I was singing and chirping all day long.”

“Well”, said the ant, smiling grimly as he locked his granary door,” since you sang all summer, it looks you would have to dance all winter.”

Moral : “It is thrifty to prepare today to meet the wants of tomorrow.”
