One cold, frosty day in the middle of winter, a colony of ants was busy drying out some, grains of corn, which had grown damp during the wet autumn weather. A half dead grasshopper, with cold and hunger, came up to one of the ants, and begged to give it a piece or two from their store of corn to save its life. The ant said, “We worked day and night to get this corn in. Why should I give it to you?” “What were you doing all last summer when you should have been gathering your food?” “Oh, I didn’t have time for things like that,” said the grasshopper, “I was far too busy singing to carry corn about.” The ant laughed unkindly. “In that case you can sing all winter as far as I am concerned,” he said. And without another word he turned back to his work.
Moral : We should always be prepared for our future.
