Once upon a time there was a grasshopper who loved to sing and dance. During the summer months, he would enjoy the sun and the fresh air, taking in all the nature has to offer. However, with the arrival of Winter, the grasshopper was hungry and without food as he had used up whatever he had stored from the summer months. With desperation, he went to the field of ants to beg for food, but the ants simply laughed and refused.
One of the kind-hearted ants, however, saw the grasshopper's predicament and decided to take pity on him. She gave him some food, and although it wasn't much, it was enough to see the grasshopper through the winter.
The grasshopper was thankful and learning of the moral, he understood why the ants had initially refused to give him food. He took the lesson to heart and spent his summer days diligently collecting food and supplies so that he could be prepared for the upcoming winter.
