The Ant and the Grasshopper

Once upon a time, in a field on a sunny day, an ant and a grasshopper were having a conversation. The ant was busy working hard, carrying food back to her home. The grasshopper was just lazing around, enjoying the warmth of the sun.

The grasshopper said to the ant, "Why are you working so hard, Ant? Come and relax with me in the sun. There's no need to work so hard."

But the ant replied, "I'm storing food for the winter, Grasshopper. I don't want to be hungry when the weather turns cold."

The grasshopper laughed and said, "Winter? Don't worry about that! There's plenty of time to have fun in the sun."

But the ant continued to work hard, gathering food, and taking it back to her home. She knew that the grasshopper would regret not preparing for the winter.

Eventually, the cold winter days arrived, and the grasshopper began to feel very hungry. He went to the ant's home and asked if she had any food to spare.

The ant replied, "I'm sorry, Grasshopper, but I don't have any extra food. I spent the summer gathering enough food to last me through the winter."

The grasshopper felt ashamed and wished he had worked harder during the summer months. From that day on, he learned to prepare for the future and not waste his time in the present.

The moral of the story is that hard work and preparation are important for a successful life. It's essential to plan for the future and not waste time. If we are lazy and only think of the present, we might regret it later.
