The Ant and the Grasshopper

In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest. "Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?" "I am helping to lay up food for the winter," said the Ant, "and recommend you to do the same." "Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got plenty of food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer.



 Moral: It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.


My words:
Some people like to waste their time on useless things. They just want to have fun. they don't think about what might happen next and they just rely on other people. I know that we only have a short life and we need to spend this life with fun, but let's live every second of this life doing meaningful things and at the same time enjoying it.
