That's why when we were kids they told us the story about the grasshopper and the ant ... The fable concerns a grasshopper who has spent the warm months singing away while the ant (or ants in some editions) worked to store up food for winter. When winter arrives, the grasshopper finds itself dying of hunger, and upon asking the ant for food is only rebuked for its idleness. The story is used to teach the virtues of hard work and saving, and the perils of improvidence. Some versions of the fable state a moral at the end, along the lines of: Idleness brings want To work today is to eat tomorrow It is best to prepare for the days of necessity en.wikipedia.org You can't expect perpetual boomtimes
