    The Ant and The Grasshopper

    Once upon a time, there lived an ant and a grasshopper in a grassy meadow by the river. It was
    during the hot summer season when the ant was toiling hard by collecting wheat grains from the farmer’s
    field.
    The ant would work hard all day long from dawn to dusk collecting the heavy grain well balanced
    on her back. She would then put the wheat grain in her larder carefully and rush back to the field to collect
    another grain. She would scurry back and forth between the field and her larder, often repeating this task
    the whole day.
    On the other hand, there was a grasshopper in the grassy meadow who would spend all his time in
    singing and dancing. He would often scorn at the ant for toiling so hard the entire day in collecting the
    grains. He would frequently call the ant to join him in singing, dancing and making merry at the present
    time.
    However, the ant would ignore him and continue with her work. This would make the grasshopper
    laugh even louder and he would often ridicule the ant stating that they have enough food to sustain
    themselves in summer.
    Hearing this, the ant said that she was saving some food for the cold season and recommended the
    grasshopper to follow the same. The grasshopper didn’t pay heed to her words and continued singing and
    dancing merrily.
    Soon summer faded to autumn and autumn to winter. It became freezing cold outside due to
    snowfall and the sun was barely visible and the nights were long and dark. Out of cold, the grasshopper lost
    his interest in singing and making merry. He was cold and hungry and had no place to take shelter from the
    snow outside. He wondered how to save himself from this tough situation.
    Suddenly he remembered about the ant and visited her for some food and shelter. Off he went to
    her place and knocked at her door for help. When she opened the door, the grasshopper offered to sing for
    her in return for some food and shelter.
    To this, the ant replied that she had toiled hard in summer to save enough food for winter and the
    grasshopper had mocked her then. She gently asked him to sing somewhere else and earn his food and
    shelter. It is then, the grasshopper realised that he should have saved up enough for the winter instead of
    wasting his time being lazy during summer in singing and dancing around.

    Moral of The Story:


    “Make hay while the sun shines.”
    The Ant and the Grasshopper full story teaches us that one must make the best
    use of the present situation, instead of suffering later. The theme of this story is
    that we need to plan for the future and for that we should start working today to
    reap the benefits tomorrow.
