The Ant and The Grasshopper

One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants

were bustling about in the warm sunshine,
drying out the grain they had stored up during
the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his
fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly
begged for a bite to eat.

” What!” cried the Ants in surprise, “haven’t you

stored anything away for the winter? What in the
world were you doing all last summer?””I didn’t
have time to store up any food,” whined the
Grasshopper; “I was so busy making music that
before I knew it the summer was gone.

“The Ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust.

“Making music, were you?” they cried. “Very
well; now dance!” And they turned their backs on
the Grasshopper and went on with their work.

There’s a time for work and a time for play.
