Once upon a time, in a sunny meadow, there lived a hard-working ant and a playful grasshopper. It was summertime, and the ant was busy gathering food. Every day, he collected grains and stored them in his tiny home.
The grasshopper, on the other hand, loved to play. He spent his days hopping around, singing songs, and dancing in the sun. One day, the grasshopper saw the ant carrying a heavy grain.
"Why are you working so hard, Ant?" the grasshopper laughed. "Come and play with me! There's plenty of food now. You don’t need to worry."
The ant smiled and replied, "I’m gathering food for the rainy season, Grasshopper. When it rains, I’ll have enough to eat."
The grasshopper just laughed and said, "Rainy season is far away! I’ll just enjoy myself now."
So, the grasshopper continued to play, and the ant continued to work.
Soon, the rainy season came. Dark clouds covered the sky, and the rain poured down. The grasshopper couldn’t find any food, and he was cold and hungry. He hopped over to the ant’s house, shivering.
"Ant, I’m hungry," the grasshopper said sadly. "I didn’t save any food. Can you help me?"
The kind ant opened his door and gave the grasshopper some food. "Here, Grasshopper," he said. "I saved enough food for both of us. But next time, remember to work when the sun is shining."
The grasshopper nodded, feeling grateful. He learned an important lesson that day: It’s important to use your time wisely!
Moral of the story: Use your time well today, so you’re ready for tomorrow!
