The months went by, and the days got shorter and colder. It was shivering so much that I couldn't even sing. A hard frost was on the ground, and I couldn't even find a crumb to eat. I was so hungry! So I went to see that busy family of ants and said, "Please, Sirs, I'm a poor hungry musician. Spare me a few crumbs from your store of food." But do you know what? Those ants just turned their noses up at me. They were so stingy that they wouldn't share any of their food with me. Oh well, I'd have to go hungry this winter. In the new year, I make a resolution. When the times are good, I'll remember to save some food for a rainy day.
