THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected
in the summertime. A Grasshopper, 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
