“Well, what have you learnt from your experiences this winter?” asked Ant with
a smirk.
“I’ve learnt a lot,” claimed Grasshopper. “I’ve learnt that I can’t enjoy myself all
summer and have enough food for winter.”
“Too right!” snapped Ant. “Summer is not for enjoying yourself. Summer is for
hard work.”
“Oh dear!” sighed Grasshopper mournfully. “I don’t think I’m ever going to last
through a winter. I can’t bear the thought of not singing, dancing and playing
when the weather is warm and sunny.”
Ant replied, “That is foolish talk. No wonder grasshoppers never last.”
“But when do you enjoy yourself, Ant?” asked Grasshopper, confused.
