Aesop's Fables. The story is as follows.
Ants and cicadas After an autumn rain, the green leaves and grass have changed into golden clothes. When the sun came out, the ant brothers began to prepare food for the winter, they came to the tree, collected the fruit that fell from the tree, placed it neatly under the tree to dry, and then carried it home little by little. Brother Ant's granary is so big!
There were many good things to eat, but in order to keep the food in the granary sufficient, the ant brothers still looked around for food, and the sweat ran down their faces, and none of them bothered to wipe the sweat. At this time, the cicadas, who had been playing for the summer, flew over their heads, and when they saw the scene of the ants being tired, they laughed and said, "Fool, you are begging for hardship again, you see how comfortable I am, when will you be as comfortable as me?"
As he spoke, he flew to the branch on the head of the ant brother and danced for a while, and the dance was so beautiful that the cicada praised itself in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, winter came, and Brother Ant pushed open the door to breathe fresh air, when the cicada flew over, and it said weakly: "Good brother, give me something to eat, or I will starve to death." Brother Ant said
Then why don't you find some food for the winter in the summer? "I'm busy singing in the summer. "What about autumn?
I'm busy dancing in the fall? Brother Ant took out the food for the cicada to eat, looked at the cicada's wolf-spitting appearance, sighed and said, "If you can only sing in summer and dance in autumn, then you can only go hungry in winter."

In winter, ants dry damp grain. A hungry cicada begs for him. The ant said to the cicada:
Why don't you stock up on some food in the summer? The cicada said, "At that time, I was singing pleasant songs, and I didn't have kung fu."
The ant smiled and said, "If you sing in the summer, you can go dancing in the winter." ”

The fable of the insect about the cicada and the ant mainly tells that the cicada survives by sucking the sap, while the ants rob the cicada of its sap and drive the cicada away. When the cicada dies in winter, his body is eaten by the ants, and Fabre realizes that the ants are the looters, who take the cicada's food for themselves and eat the cicada.
In the eyes of the author Fabre, the ants are real robbers.
Background of creation. Fabre was born in December 1823 into a poor peasant family in southern France. When he was in elementary school, he used to go out into the countryside and fill his pocket with snails, mushrooms, or other plants and insects. At the age of 15, Fabre was admitted to the Normal School, and after graduating, he was hired as a junior high school mathematics teacher.
He spent a month's salary, bought a book on entomology, and aspired to be a person who wrote history for bugs.
He published a series of works, such as "Sky", "Earth", "Plants", and "Uncle Paul Talks about Pests". In 1875, Fabre and his family moved to a small country town. The first volume of Insects, compiled over 20 years of data, was published in 1879.

1. The cicada who thinks she is a natural singer and spends the whole summer singing. Time unconsciously moves forward, slowly entering the winter when the north wind is howling. The cicada suddenly came back to his senses and found that the sun, flowers, and shade of the trees that it once had were gone, and the most terrifying thing was that it could not find even a little food.
It was very hungry, so it went to the ant's house.
2. The ants were busy drying the damp millet, and the cicadas said with tears in their eyes: "Little ants, please, give me some food!" The ant asked him, "What are you doing in the summer?" Why not save up a little bit to eat? ”
4. The ant laughed at it and said, "Oh, is it? Since you're going to sing in the summer, why not go dancing in the winter? ”
5. Small stories and big truths: you must lose no time in working and working in order to have enough food and clothing; If you just have fun, you can only starve. Don't wait until you're hungry and can't stand it to know that you regret it. The good or bad of fate depends on what you have done.
