one fine day in winter some ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had got rather damp during a long spell of rain. presently up came a grasshopper 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 didn'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 spend the winter dancing." and they chuckled and went on with their work.
