The Ant and the Grasshopper

蚂蚁和蚱蜢

On one fine summer's day in a field a Grasshopper was hopping about in a musical mood. An ant passed by bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

一个晴朗的夏天，一只蚱蜢在田野里蹦蹦跳跳，喜气洋洋。一只蚂蚁扛着一颗玉米，辛辛苦苦地走向蚁巢。

蚱蜢邀请蚂蚁坐下来和他聊天。但是蚂蚁拒绝说我在冬天储存食物。蚂蚁问蚱蜢。

"Pooh! Why bother about winter?" said the Grasshopper; we have got enough food at present." But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil.

“呸！为什么要担心冬天？蚱蜢说：目前我们有足够的食物。但蚂蚁继续前进，继续努力。Finally, when winter came, the Grasshopper found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing corn and grain from their storage.

最后，冬天来临时，蚱蜢发现自己快要饿死了，看到蚂蚁从仓库里分发苞片和谷物。Then the Grasshopper understood that…

然后蚱蜢明白了…It is best to prepare for the days of necessity.

最好为必要的日子做好充分的准备。
