THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected
in the summertime. A Grasshopper1, perishing with famine, passed
by and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired of
him, "Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?' He
replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in
singing." They then said in derision: "If you were foolish enough
to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the
winter."
It is thrifty to prepare today for the wants of tomorrow
in the summertime. A Grasshopper1, perishing with famine, passed
