The Ant and Grasshopper
http://www.longlongtimeago.com/llta_fables_antgrasshopper.html
The ants worked hard during summer for next winter, but grasshoppers didn't work any more and sang during all summer. When winter came, there were enough food for ants because they worked hard. On the other hand, there were no food for grasshoppers because they were lazy and did own favorite things. Thus, the grasshoppers died.
The story tells us that "It is wise to worry about tomorrow today"

Good summary of the English fable, but what about the Japanese story? Can you give me a summary of it, too?
