00:00Once upon a time, in the summer season, the sun was shining bright, and the fields were full of greenery.
00:08There lived a grasshopper who was very lazy.
00:11He spent all day sitting, playing his flute, and singing songs.
00:16He enjoyed himself and never worried about the future.
00:20In the same jungle lived a hard-working ant.
00:23During the summer days, she worked tirelessly from morning till evening, collecting food for herself and her family.
00:32She stored every grain carefully to prepare for the winter.
00:36When the grasshopper saw her, he laughed and said,
00:39Oh, ant, why are you working so hard?
00:43Look how beautiful the weather is.
00:45Come, let's sing and enjoy.
00:47The ant smiled and said,
00:50It's summer now, but soon winter will come.
00:54I am collecting food for the cold days.
00:57When the snow covers everything, there will be nothing to eat.
01:01But the grasshopper laughed and replied,
01:04There's still plenty of time for that.
01:06Right now is the time to have fun.
01:09He ignored the ant's advice and kept singing and playing.
01:13The whole summer and autumn went by, and he didn't save anything.
01:19Soon, winter came.
01:22The ground was covered with snow.
01:25Cold winds blew, and the trees lost all their leaves.
01:30The poor grasshopper couldn't find food anywhere.
01:33He was shivering with hunger and cold, wandering here and there.
01:37That's when he realized his mistake.
01:42The starving grasshopper reached the ant's home and knocked on her door.
01:46The ant opened it and was surprised to see him in such a bad condition.
01:51She asked,
01:53What happened, grasshopper?
01:56Why do you look so weak and worried?
01:59Feeling ashamed, the grasshopper said,
02:01I have nothing to eat and I am freezing.
02:05Please give me some food.
02:07I did not collect anything in the summer.
02:09Can you help me?
02:11The ant felt pity for the grasshopper.
02:13She invited him inside and gave him food.
02:16The grasshopper ate gratefully and thanked her again and again.
02:21The ant said,
02:22Friend, now you understand.
02:25Hard work always brings sweet rewards.
02:28From next year, you must also work on time.
02:32The grasshopper bowed his head and said,
02:35Yes, from now on, I will work hard.
02:39From that day, the grasshopper learned the importance of effort
02:42and never wasted his time in laziness again.
02:46So children, the lesson from this story is,
02:50We must always prepare for the future and work hard.
02:55Laziness only brings trouble.
02:57Working on time keeps us safe even in hard times.
03:02Fun is important,
03:03but hard work and planning should always come first.
