Ants must work hard during summer to build their homes and gather food for the winter. Family Work Play wastes no time finding a suitable location to build their home with plenty of room to store food for the coming winter. They determine to work first, so they can relax and have fun later.

In contrast, Family Dilly Dally has a different tradition: they always play first. If they have any time left, then they work a little. When the long, cold winter comes, the Dilly Dally family have a very tough time finding food and keeping warm. However, they learn an important lesson about working first and playing later.
