“THE CICADA AND THE ANT – FABLE BY AESOP”

Περιγραφή

This elegantly designed booklet portrays one of Aesop’s most beloved and timeless fables, “The Ant and the Grasshopper,” a story that celebrates hard work, foresight, and responsibility. Its wisdom remains relevant even today, reminding us that effort and preparation are the foundations of a secure and dignified life.

The story begins on a winter’s day, when an ant laid out in the sun the grain he had gathered throughout the summer. A hungry cicada approached him, asking for a little food.
“Well, didn’t you gather anything for the winter? What did you do all summer?” the ant asked him.
“I was singing and didn’t have the time,” replied the cicada.
“Well then, since you were singing back then, now dance!” the ant told him.

Through this simple yet meaningful dialogue, the fable teaches that whoever neglects important duties will sooner or later find themselves in a difficult position. As the ancient moral lesson states:
“One must not neglect anything in life, in order not to suffer grief or fall into danger.”
(One must not neglect anything in life, so as not to suffer sorrow or fall into danger.)

The booklet is distinguished by high-quality printing and a carefully crafted design. It is part of the “Aesop’s Fables” series, which is particularly popular for its cultural and educational value. It is ideal for collectors, teachers, children, as well as anyone who loves classical Greek tradition. It also pairs perfectly with collectible coins dedicated to fables, Greek literature, or ancient education.

Whether added to a personal collection, used as educational material, or offered as a special gift, this edition brings Aesop’s wisdom to life in a simple, accessible, and aesthetically refined way.
