On one fine summer's day in a field a Grasshopper was hopping about in a

musical mood. An ant passed by bearing along with great toil an ear of

corn he was taking to the nest.

The grasshopper invited the ant to sit for a chat with him. But the ant refused

saying that "I’m storing up food for winter". " Why don’t you do the same?"

asked the ant to the grasshopper."Pooh! Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got enough food at present." But the Ant went on

its way and continued its toil.

Finally, when winter came, the Grasshopper found itself dying of

hunger, while it saw the ants distributing corn and grain from their

storage.

Then the Grasshopper understood that it is best to prepare for the days of

necessity.
