Once upon a time, there was a busy ant colony. The ants worked hard all day, collecting food for the winter. But nearby, the grasshopper played all day, without a care in the world.
As winter approached, the ants stored food in their tiny homes. They knew they had to prepare for the cold days when food would be scarce. The grasshopper, however, kept playing and didn't bother to collect any food.
When winter arrived, the ground was covered in thick snow. The ants stayed warm in their cozy homes, eating the food they had stored. They were happy and well-fed. Meanwhile, the grasshopper shivered in the cold, hungry and regretful.
The grasshopper realized his mistake and felt sorry for his laziness. He went to the ants and asked for food. The ants, being wise and kind-hearted, shared their food with the grasshopper. They knew that everyone deserves a chance to make things right.
From that day on, the grasshopper worked hard alongside the ants. He contributed his skills and talents, and together they built a strong and thriving community. And so, they all lived happily ever after.
