Según Aesop's Fables, la hormiga se prepara para el invierno...

**Aesop’s Fables for Little Listeners (age 3‑6)** - *The Grasshopper and the Ants* reminds children that play without preparation can leave you hungry in winter. The busy ants ask their melodic visitor why she sang all summer instead of gathering food, and the lesson is clear: “If you spent the summer singing, you can’t expect a winter feast” (Aesop’s Fables (Public Domain)). - *The Town Mouse and...

Good morning — or good evening — wherever you are. This is Storytime Stella with today’s queue.

**Welcome to Storyflo's Weekly Deep-Dive on This Week's Big Stories. I'm Storytime.** This week’s roundup brings together two seemingly disparate families of tales: the timeless Aesop fables that have guided generations with succinct morals, and a freshly unearthed series of autobiographical snippets from a 1960s father‑to‑daughter column that appear in the *Kid Lit* newsletter.

A Town Mouse and a Country Mouse were acquaintances, and the Country Mouse one day invited his friend to come and see him at his home in the fields. The Town Mouse came, and they sat down to a dinner of barleycorns and roots, the latter of which had a distinctly earthy flavour. The fare was not much to the taste of the guest, and presently he broke out with "My poor dear friend, you live here no b...

One fine day in winter some Ants were busy drying their store of corn, which had got rather damp during a long spell of rain. Presently up came a Grasshopper and begged them to spare her a few grains, "For," she said, "I'm simply starving." The Ants stopped work for a moment, though this was against their principles. "May we ask," said they, "what you were doing with yourself all last summer? Why...

A Hare was one day making fun of a Tortoise for being so slow upon his feet. "Wait a bit," said the Tortoise; "I'll run a race with you, and I'll wager that I win." "Oh, well," replied the Hare, who was much amused at the idea, "let's try and see"; and it was soon agreed that the fox should set a course for them, and be the judge. When the time came both started off together, but the Hare was soon...

A dispute arose between the North Wind and the Sun, each claiming that he was stronger than the other. At last they agreed to try their powers upon a traveller, to see which could soonest strip him of his cloak. The North Wind had the first try; and, gathering up all his force for the attack, he came whirling furiously down upon the man, and caught up his cloak as though he would wrest it from him...

A Lion asleep in his lair was waked up by a Mouse running over his face. Losing his temper he seized it with his paw and was about to kill it. The Mouse, terrified, piteously entreated him to spare its life. "Please let me go," it cried, "and one day I will repay you for your kindness." The idea of so insignificant a creature ever being able to do anything for him amused the Lion so much that he l...

Once upon a time all the Mice met together in Council, and discussed the best means of securing themselves against the attacks of the cat. After several suggestions had been debated, a Mouse of some standing and experience got up and said, "I think I have hit upon a plan which will ensure our safety in the future, provided you approve and carry it out. It is that we should fasten a bell round the...
