The Ant and the Grasshopper(蚱蜢)

             In a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to her heart’s content. An Ant passed by, carrying with great effort an ear of corn. He was taking it to his nest.

             “Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of carrying and toiling in that way?”

             “I am helping to lay up some food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same.”

             “Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper, “We have got plenty of food at present.” But the Ant went on his way and continued the toil.

             When a cold, frosty winter day came, the Ant was dragging out some of the corn which he had laid up in the summer time, to dry it. The Grasshopper, half consumed with hunger, begged the Ant to give her a morsel of it to preserver her life. “What were you doing,” said the Ant, “this last summer?” “Oh,” said the Grasshopper, “I was not idle. I kept singing all the summer long.” The Ant said, laughing and shutting up his granary: “Since you could sing all summer, you may dance all winter.”

             Winter finds out what summer lays by.

【回答】

             The grasshopper just enjoyed herself by singing all the summer. Thus, she had nothing to eat in the winter. Meanwhile, the ant planned ahead, working hard to lay up enough food for the winter.

             It is obvious that the fable provides a moral lesson about hard work and preparation for the future. First, one needs to work hard to realize his dream just as the famous saying goes “Hard work leads to success”, which is a universal truth that we must keep in mind forever. Second, we’d better prepare for the days of necessity. As more proverbs illustrate, take an umbrella in case.

             As for me, I admire the ant for his hard work and good planning. As a Senior high student, it is necessary to put efforts into study and make good preparations for all the challenges lying ahead.
