The Ant and the Grasshopper tells the story of the ant that worked hard collecting food during summer, while the carefree grasshopper did not. During winter, the ant survived while the grasshopper starved. This story conveyed to children that the threat of lean times was ever present but that hard work would stave off starvation. While generations of middle classes have been comforted by the expectation of just reward for hard work and security through accumulation, faith in the moral certainty of this outcome has more recently been faltering.
