Aesop...how'd you get so smart?

Stories and fables are told throughout cultures all over the world. I love the ones that have a morale to the story. You know the ones I mean. They seem to stay with you long after they are told. It's the hook that the story has that keeps you remembering it for years to come.

Did you hear the one about the ant and the grasshopper? Here is a refresher if you did. 

In a field one summer's day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart's content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.

"Why not come and chat with me," said the Grasshopper, "instead of toiling and moiling in that way?"

"I am helping to lay up 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 its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants
distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:Moral of Aesops Fable: It is best to prepare for the days of necessity

Always be open to ways you can prepare for your future necessity. See what's going on at my house...The Ant Farm

Happy Farming!!
