The Ant And The Grasshopper
In a field one summers day a grasshopper was hopping about, chirping
and singing to its hearts content. An ant passed by, bearing along with
great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
Why not come and chat with me, said the grasshopper, instead of
toiling and moiling in that way?
I am helping to lay up food for the winter, said the ant, and recommend
you to do the same.
Why bother about winter? said the grasshopper; we have got plenty of
food at present. The Ant went on its way and continued its toil.
When the winter came the grasshopper found itself dying of hunger while
it saw the ants distributing, every day, corn and grain from the stores
they had collected in the summer.
Di suatu lapangan, saat musim panas, seekor belalang melompat girang, berkicau
dan bernyanyi sesuka hatinya. Sementara seekeor semut sedang lewat, sambil
mambawa bongkahan biji jagung dibawahnya dengan susah payah menuju
sarangnya.
Mengapa kamu tidak disini saja sambil ngobrol denganku, kata Belalang, dari
pada lalulalang kerja keras seperti itu??
Aku bekerja untuk mengumpulkan makanan sebegai persediaan musim dingin
nanti, kata semut itu, dan memeberikan contoh padamu supaya kamu juga
mengumpulkan makanan seperti aku.
Kenapa aku harus repot-repot mengkhawatirkan musim dingin kata Belalang;
Kami sudah punya banyak makanan saat ini. Meskipun begitu semut itu tetap
melanjutkan dan terus kerja keras.
Ketika musim dingin datang, belalang itu pun mati kelaparan, sementara si semut
mendistribusikan jagung dan gandum setiap hari dari toko mereka yang sudah
dikumpulkan saat musim panas yang lalu.
