Another chat with Aesop..........................

                         The Ants and the Grasshopper

The Ants were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime.  A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food.   The Ants inquired of him, "Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?"   He replied, "I had not leisure enough.  I passed the days in singing."   Then they said in derision:  "If you were foolish enough to sing all summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."
-Aesop's Fables
