While a grasshopper was taking it easy in the shade of a willow tree one be summer's day, an ant siggled in the sun with a grain of nee that he was carrying out to his nest. "Hey, Mister Ant", the grasshopper said. "Why don't you take it easy, like me! You can work tomorrow".
The ant paused. "I'm saving up food now for the cold winter ahead, and I you know what's good for you, you'll do the same", he said.
The grasshopper looked at the ant and laughed. "Cold winter? Bus Mr. Ant, i is sunny and hot right now. It won't be winter for a long time. There is always tint, to gather food, there's no need to spend your time in this beautiful weather doing work. Come sit down with me and have some lemonade" But the ant refused an spent the rest of the day gathering food and storing it in his nest.
As the days went by the ant continued to collect food, while the grasshopper continued to rest underneath the shade of the willow tree.
