When the hay is removed, and the tender grass appears, and herbs of the mountains are gathered,

the ants are a people not strong, yet they store up their food in the summer;

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider her ways and be wise,

provides her food in the summer and gathers her sustenance in the harvest.
