蚂蚁和蝉。认为自己是一个天生的歌唱家的蝉，整个夏天都在歌唱中度过。时间在不知不觉中向前推移，慢慢地进入北风呼啸的冬天。蝉猛一回神，发现曾经拥有的阳光,花朵还有树阴都没有了，最可怕的是连一丁点食物都找不到。它非常饥饿，于是就到了蚂蚁家。蚂蚁正忙着把潮湿的谷子晒干，蝉流着泪水说：小蚂蚁，求求你，给我点食物吧！蚂蚁便问它：你夏天干什么去了？为什么不积存一点吃的呢？蝉回答说：那时我一点时间都没有，每天要忙着唱美妙动听的歌。蚂蚁便嘲笑它说：哦，是吗？既然你夏季要唱歌，那么冬天不妨去跳舞吧。大道理：要不失时机地工作,劳动，才能丰衣足食；如果一味玩乐，只能挨饿。千万不要等到饿得受不了的时候才知道后悔。命运的好与坏，都要看曾经的所作所为。
