The grasshopper sang and hopped in the sun, laughing at the hardworking ant. When winter arrived with cold snow, the grasshopper had no food left. He knocked on the ant's door, asking for help. The ant shared a portion of her grain and advised, "If you sing all summer, you may starve in winter." What is the central theme of this story?
