Once upon a time, there was a busy squirrel and a playful mouse.

The squirrel spent every day gathering nuts and seeds for the winter, while the mouse loved to sing and dance in the sunshine without a care in the world.

The squirrel warned the mouse, “Winter is coming. You should gather food, too.”

But the mouse thought there was plenty of time to have fun.

When winter arrived, the mouse felt very cold and hungry. He realized that he should have listened to the squirrel.

Shivering and weak, the mouse went to the squirrel’s house and asked for help.

The kind squirrel had saved plenty of food and shared it with the mouse.

That day, the mouse learned an important lesson. It is essential to work hard and plan ahead.

He understood that playing all the time without thinking about the future could lead to problems.

Moral of the story

Planning ahead and working hard are important to avoid problems in the future.
