Once upon a summer's day, in a meadow filled with song and sunshine, a carefree grasshopper fiddled away his hours while the diligent ant toiled to prepare for the winter to come.

 

When the seasons turned and the frost crept in, the wisdom of the ant's labor—and the folly of the grasshopper's idleness—was revealed.

 

In this enchanting retelling of Aesop's timeless fable, listeners are carried into a fairytale world where character voices abound and the narrator's words are wrapped in the warmth of a charming older British gentleman style. Gentle New Age music drifts beneath the storytelling, creating an atmosphere as soothing as it is magical.

 

Perfect for bedtime, classrooms, libraries or family listening, The Ant and the Grasshopper offers not only a delightful tale, but also enduring lessons on responsibility, foresight, and the rewards of hard work. A story spun with wonder, music, and timeless wisdom—ready to be shared with hearts both young and old.
