Meanwhile, an ant was busy collecting food and storing it away for the cold winter months. One day, the grasshopper noticed the ant working hard and asked him why he was doing it. The ant replied that he was working hard to prepare for the winter. The grasshopper laughed and said, “What’s the point? You should enjoy the summer while it lasts!” When winter arrived, the grasshopper found himself without food or shelter. He went to the ant for help, but the ant replied, “I told you to prepare for the winter, but you wouldn’t listen. Now you must suffer the consequences.” The moral of the story is that it is important to plan ahead and work hard to prepare for the future.
