One winter, the ants were drying their grain, which had grown damp, when a starving cicada came and begged them for food. The ants asked him, “Why didn’t you gather food in the summer?” He replied, “I had no time; I was busy singing.” The ants laughed and said, “Well, if you made music in the summer, you can dance in the winter.” The fable teaches that we should neglect none of our duties, lest we come to grief and find ourselves in danger.
