This is the second issue in a coin series featuring the fables of Aesop.
Aesop's Fables, or the Aesopica, is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and storyteller who lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 564 BCE.
In this fable, One bright winter day, an ant was drying out the grain he had stored up during the summer, when a starving cicada came up and begged for a bite to eat. “What!” cried the ant, “haven't you stored anything away for the winter? What were you doing all last summer?” The cicada said: “I didn't have time; I was too busy singing”. To this the ant replied: “Oh, you were singing. Well, now dance!”. The fable’s moral is to work hard and plan for the future. |
