But Ant refused and continued in his work. She worked hard throughout the day and picked up the grain from the field and carried it to her bill.

The grasshopper, immersed in his fun, sees the ant and laughs. He would call her again and again and say, "Sweet ant, why are you working so hard?" Come, take some rest, listen to my song. Long and bright days of summer. Why waste such beautiful days spent working like this? "

Ant said, "I am collecting food for the cold season." Follow my advice, do the same to you. Otherwise, you will regret it later. "

"Why worry about cold weather from now on?" The grasshopper said, “I have enough food and the cold weather is far away. There is a lot of time to prepare it. Now I want to spend time sleeping comfortably and having fun. If you believe me then stop working and have fun. "
