【蚂蚁和蚱蜢的寓言故事】

 

　　冬天一个温暖如春的日子裡，蚂蚁们正忙着晒乾自己储存的粮食。由于下了很长时间的雨，粮食已经非常潮湿了。这时，来了一隻蚱蜢，向他们乞讨一点粮食。“因为，”蚱蜢说，“我实在是饿坏了。”儘管有点违背原则，但蚂蚁们还是停下了手边的工作。“我们能问你一下吗？”他们说，“整个夏天你都在做些什么呢？为什么不为冬天储存一些粮食呢？”“实际上，”蚱蜢回答道，“我一直在忙着唱歌，根本没有时间储存粮食。”“如果你整个夏天都在唱歌，”蚂蚁们回答道，“那麽，你最好在冬天就忙着跳舞吧。”他们哈哈大笑起来，继续忙于各自的工作。

On a warm spring day in winter, the ants are busy drying the food they have stored. The grain was already very wet due to the prolonged rain. At this time, a grasshopper came and begged them for some food. "Because," said the grasshopper, "I'm really starving." The ants stopped what they were doing, albeit a little against principle. "Can we ask you a question?" they said. "What have you been doing all summer? Why don't you stock up on some grain for winter?" "Actually," replied the grasshopper, "I've been busy singing, there’s no time to store food." "If you've been singing all summer," replied the ants, "then you'd better get busy dancing in winter." They laughed and went on with their work.
