SYNOPSIS :
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 don'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.
