8the kids all gathered round him8
NS: *clings to Thrax a little but listens*
Drix: *continues the story, the ant starting out very lazy singing and playing his fiddle all through the summer while the ants toil and work adn gather food for the winter*
Ozzy; 8sighed as he listened8
*the story ends when, in the winter, the grasshopper is brought into the ant's hill by a couple ants, sick and cold and starving because he'd not gathered any food at all for himself while the ants are doing well and the entire winter is a time of rest for them as they have more than enough food stored to get them through*
