Translation
The hot sun is shining on the fields. The golden grains can
be found everywhere in the vast expansive fields.
The ant and the cicada are neighbors. From morning to
evening, the ant is busy moving grains to his home all the time in order to get
ready for the winter. On the other hand, the cicada is busy singing and
dancing, and playing all day long without working at all. Even though they are
neighbors, they have never paid any visits to each other.
The winter is here. The ant stay at home comfortably for the
winter. One morning, the sun is out, so the ant takes the grains out to air
out. A starving cicada flies over and says feebly, “my good neighbor, could you
lend me a little of your grains? I have not had a satisfying meal for many
days.”
“Don’t tell me that you yourself have not prepared any
grains.” The ant says,” In the fall, there are so many grains in the fields.
Why didn’t you move some home?”
“In the fall, I was busy playing every day. I had so much
fun that I had no time to move grains…” says the cicada.
“Oh!” The ant interrupts the cicada, and says, “
You didn’t work in the fall, so you certainly have nothing to eat in the
winter. We only help the diligent people, but not those who don’t like to work.
You’d better leave.” Hearing this, the cicada has to fly away without choice.
