NES Version
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.
The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away..
Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold, after spending his entire 15 day lifespan flying, copulating and flying again.
MORAL OF THE STORY: You gotta go. So you may as well go doing what you enjoy
