One
summer’s day a Grasshopper was hoping about, chirping and singing merrily. An
ant passed by, carrying an ear of corn to the nest. The grasshopper said, “Why
not come and chat with me”. The ant refused and said, “I am helping to lay up
food for the winter and you should also do the same.”

The
grasshopper said, “Why should I bother about the winters? We have got plenty of
food at present. “But the Ant went on it way and continued to gather food. When
the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found himself dying out of
hunger, while it saw the ants enjoying the corn and grain from the stores they
had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper went to the ant and asked for
food. The ant refused and said, “You should have worked and gathered food in
summer, rather that just sitting and singing.”
Moral:
It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.
