The cicada and the ant

Once, when winter came, a cicada that was starving came to the door of an anthill asking for food. At his request the ants responded, asking the following question:

- Why during the summer did you not make your food reservation as we did?

The cicada replied:

- I was singing happily all the time, and enjoying the summer fully If I had known how hard winter is ...!

The ants said:

-While we worked hard during the summer to have the provisions and be able to spend the winter, you enjoyed and you lost time. So now ... keep dancing!

But the ants felt sorry for the situation and understood that the cicada had learned the lesson, so they finally shared their food with her.

Moraleja: Those who want to have a good winter, while they are young, should take advantage of time.
