Ant and Grasshopper

Ant and 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 and 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 continued its toil.
