about the future and didn’t want to prepare for the winter.

Winter arrived, the field was now covered in snow. Ant was warm inside his home, surrounded by the food he
had got. But poor Grasshopper was cold and hungry. He hadn’t stored any food and regretted playing all day long

From that day on, Grasshopper learned the importance of preparation and hard work. He started working with
Ant, keeping food for the future.
