#146. Aesop And Investment

Here's a fable told by Aesop:

The Ants And The Grasshopper

One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had storedup during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat.

"What!" cried the Ants in surprise, "haven't you stored anything away for the winter? What in the world were you doing all last summer?"

"I didn't have time to store up any food," whined the Grasshopper; "I was so busy making music that before I knew itthe summer was gone."

The Ants shrugged their shoulders in disgust.

"Making music, were you?" they cried. "Very well; now dance!" And they turned their backs on the Grasshopper and went on with theirwork.

Times are hard now. Many are suffering in this economy turmoil.

We must learn from this event and remember to work hard during the good times; and stock up our funds so that we can use them during the rainy days.

We must also cleverly invest and save our funds during the good times and profit from it. In the low times, these funds can help us procure investments at a low price.
