Story 1: Story of an ant and a grasshopper. The ant planned and worked hard to store food for winter in her cave while grasshopper spent time playing, enjoying the warm weather of spring and summer, making fun of the ant. In the winter grasshopper had no food to survive and had to visit ant's cave for food and shelter.
Moral: We need to work hard in order to play and enjoy.
