00:00Once there lived an ant and a cricket in a field.

00:09The ant lived in a hole, and the cricket lived near its hole.

00:14They were friends.

00:16The ant was very hardworking, but the cricket was very lazy.

00:22In the months of summer, the ant worked day and night to store food for winter.

00:29But the cricket did not work at all.

00:32He did not store any food for winter.

00:35He just sang and made merry.

00:38Then winter came.

00:41The ground was covered with snow.

00:46There was no food to eat.

00:48The ant had enough grains to eat for the whole winter.

00:52But the cricket had nothing to eat.

00:56He went to the ant to borrow some grains.

01:00My dear friend, please help me.

01:03I am starving.

01:05I don't have any food with me, and there is no food anywhere, he pleaded.

01:11The ant asked him, What have you been doing in summer?

01:15Didn't you store any food?

01:19The cricket replied sadly, Oh no, I did not collect any food.

01:24I just sang and made merry.

01:27The ant retorted, If you sang the summer away, you should dance away the winter.

01:34Moral, no pains, no gains.
