螞蟻與蚱蜢 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." They then said in derision: "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter."
冬季，螞蟻正忙著把潮濕的谷子曬干。饑餓的蚱蜢跑來，向他們乞討食物。螞蟻問他： “你為什么在夏天不去收集食物呢?” 蚱蜢回答說：“那時(shí)沒有時(shí)間，我忙于唱美妙動(dòng)聽的 歌。”螞蟻嘲笑說：“你夏季如要唱歌，那么冬季就去跳舞吧。”這故事說明，要不失時(shí)機(jī) 地工作、勞動(dòng)，才能豐衣足食;如果一味玩樂，只能挨餓。
