In this classic Aesop's fable, the Cicada is an excellent singer, while the Ant works daily gathering food. Summer leaves with the rains, autumn arrives, and winter brings the cold. The Cicada, having saved nothing, asks the Ant for help. What will her reaction be? The adaptation, now in English, brings surprises, enriched by the illustrator's watercolor style.
