THE ANTS were spending a fine winter's day drying grain collected in the summertime. A Grasshopper, perishing with famine, passed by and earnestly begged for a little food. The Ants inquired of him, "Why did you not treasure up food during the summer?" He replied, "I had not leisure enough. I passed the days in singing." They then said in derision; "If you were foolish enough to sing all the summer, you must dance supperless to bed in the winter." Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today. If you didn't work, It will be piled up mountain-high. finally You will give up. In addition, You will regret it sooner or later like a grasshopper. Diligence is the mother of success.

It's an interesting story, but is it copied from somewhere else? You should always paraphrase (use your own words) in a writing assignment.
