The grasshopper and the ants, The grasshopper and the ants , 메뚜기와 개미들, 이솝우화
One fine day in winter some Ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had gotten rather damp during a long spell of rain. Presently a Grasshopper came up and begged them to spare her a few grains. "For," she said, "I'm simply starving." The Ants stopped work for a moment, though this was against their principles. "May we ask," said they, "what you were doing with yourself all last summer? Why didn't you collect a store of food for the winter?" "The fact is," replied the Grasshopper, "I was so busy singing that I hadn't the time." "If you spent the summer singing," replied the Ants, "you can't do better than to spend the winter dancing." And they chuckled and went on with their work.
