- 4. The Ant and the Grasshopper One summer’s day, in a field nearby, a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, struggling to carry an ear of corn he was taking to his nest. “Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of working so hard?” “I am helping to store up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and I recommend that you do the same.” “Why bother about winter?” asked the Grasshopper; “we have plenty of food right now.” But the Ant went on its way and continued its work. When winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself hungry and weak, while it saw the Ants eating corn and grain every day from what they had collected all summer. Then the Grasshopper knew: It is best to work and save things we will need later.
