The Cricket, and the Ant Children’s Issue
Description
Aesop’s fables have fascinated generations of children and the story of the Cricket and the Ant is yet another one with a moral content.
The Cricket and the Ant lived in a forest not far from each other. Throughout the summer the Cricket ate and sang all day and everyday while the Ant was busy collecting food to store in readiness for the winter that was to come.
Soon winter was upon them and the Cricket, cold, hungry and without shelter had no strength left to search for food. He called upon his neighbour the Ant to give him some food as all the leaves had gone and there was no food to be found anywhere. The Ant asked the Cricket as to what he was doing all through summer, to which he replied that he had been singing all day out of happiness and thus had no time to collect and store food. Well, replied the Ant, since you were singing during the summer, it is now time for you to dance, and with these words he shut the door and left him out in the cold.
The moral of the story is to be prepared for the future knowing what needs may arise.
