The ant and the grasshopper

Today I was reading a book about The ant and a grasshopper. It was all about ants that worked hard in summer and got a wonderful winter.  The grasshoppers didn't work hard in the summer, so they had to work for the ants in the winter, as a punishment from the ants. Then the grasshopper learnt a lesson and did hard work too. If they had been nice to each other and worked together in summer, they could spend quality time together in winter. This also combines with the words "Hard work pays off". Jesus also said that be nice to others and they will be nice to you.
