La cigale et la fourmi

Book • 2005
La Cigale et la Fourmi" is one of La Fontaine's most famous fables.

It tells the story of a cicada who spends the summer singing and enjoying life, while the ant works hard to store food for the winter.

When winter arrives, the cicada finds herself without food and begs the ant for help.

The ant asks what she did during the summer, and when the cicada replies that she sang, the ant tells her to dance now.

The fable is a moral lesson about the importance of hard work and preparation for the future, contrasting the carefree cicada with the diligent ant.
