The ant refused to join the grasshopper and continued gathering grains instead. She kept herself busy storing food supplies for the cold and harsh winters when it would be difficult for her to venture out. The grasshopper laughed at her and told her there was enough food for a lifetime.
The ant, however, never stopped working throughout the summer. The grasshopper continued to sit in the shade of the garden trees and sing happily. Summer gradually came to an end, but that did not affect the grasshopper.
It also did not stop the ant from relentlessly carrying food grains from the fields to her home. She stopped by and advised her grasshopper friend to start storing food for the winter for himself too. "Stop wasting your time and start gathering some food. You will need it in the winters,” the ant urged."
The grasshopper only smiled and said, "There’s lots of time! Right now all is fine". The ant shrugged away and continued with her daily routine.
The seasons soon changed. Winter brought in freezing temperatures, and the grasshopper realized he had no food. He looked around to find some, but he was so cold that he could hardly move. Everything was covered with snow.
