The Ant and the Grasshopper


A  grasshopper plays lazy and scorned at a little ant as she was always busy gathering food.

"workaholic little ant, wont you give your self some rest and come join me chirping? you seem to be working too hard for my liking."why are you like this?" he asked.

"Oh never mind". She said, "I am gathering up food for the winter. Sunny days won't last for ever."

The grasshopper laughed and said"Winter is still far, you have all the time to do that."
Shortly after, stormed the winter, but the ant settled down in her snug house and eat satisfactorily. She had plenty of food to last the whole winter. The grasshopper had nothing to eat so, he went to the ant and begged her for a little corn.

"No", replied the ant, "you laughed at me when I worked and played lazily. Now its my turn to laugh because he who laugh last always laugh best".

MORAL : 
The best time to do the right thing is yesterday, not now. why? because you're already running behind time.
