1. In a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping and singing. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great
toil an ear of cone.” Why not come and chat with me,’’ said the Grasshopper. I am helping to lay up food for the
winter?” said the Grasshopper. But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the
Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger while it saw the ants distributing everyday corn and
grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to prepare for day
of need.
