Once upon a time there was a grasshopper who spent the whole summer playing music and being lazy, while the ants worked hard to store food for the winter.

The grasshopper thought it was silly for the ants to work so hard when the weather was beautiful and there were plenty of food to eat.
“Hey! Why are you working so hard? It’s a beautiful day! Come enjoy the sunshine with me!”
“We need to store food for the winter. In not so many days, it will be cold, and we will be hungry.”.

When the weather turned colder and the blue sky started to fade, the ants finally finished storing their food for the winter but the grasshopper was still relaxing away and playing.
Relax, friends! There will be plenty of food to eat.

One day when the grasshopper awoke, the sun was not shining. It was not warm. Winter had come overnight, and the ground was frozen and covered with snow. The grasshopper had no food to eat.
Oh, no! I need food.

I realized now that I was wrong. I should have listened to you. May I please come in and have some food?
Come, friend. There is room here and there is food. I've saved enough for many seasons. Come in and eat.
He walked for hours through the snow, searching for food and shelter. He came upon the ants' nest and saw that the ants warm and happy. He realized that the ants were right all along. Not all days are sunny and you need to be prepared for the worst.
