The Ants were spending a cold winter's day
eating grain they had gathered in the summer.
Which answer is most likely
the theme of the story?

A Grasshopper, who was starving, passed by and

did you not gather up food during the summer?
C. Don't put off work until tomorrow.
He replied, "I didn't have time enough. I spent my
days singing and playing."
D. Grasshoppers like to dance and sing.
The Ants then said coldly, "If you were foolish
enough to sing all summer, you must dance to
bed without food in the winter."
