The ant and the grasshopper

The moral lesson of this story is all about being
prepared. If we work hard and plan for the future, we
won't find ourselves in the grasshopper's position,
relying on others. However, the ant can also learn
something from the grasshopper. During the summer,
the ant is not happy, as he doesn't give himself a break.
