The Ant and the Grasshopper

During Summer, Grasshopper was having fun
When he spied Ant toiling under the sun
"Hey Ant," he said, "Please come and play."
But Ant said, "No, I must work today."
"I'm storing food if Winter came,
I recommend you do the same."
But Grasshopper only had this comment,
"There is heaps of food at present."
Winter comes and food is nought
Dying is he, a lesson taught.
He sees Ant and his food-full store
And he wished that he had listened more.

"It is best to prepare for the days of necessity"
