«La cigarra y la hormiga» is Aesop's children's story, published by Ediciones del Laberinto in paperback (32 pages, in Spanish).
The cicada spends the summer singing in the sun, oblivious to work, while the ant gathers and stores provisions. When winter comes, the cicada lacks food and discovers that the ant's foresight and effort were right.
It belongs to the «Cuentos de bolsillo» collection: adaptation by Roberto Piumini with illustrations by Nicoletta Costa and translation by Ana Belén Valverde Elices (edition no. 1, 2010).
Recommended for children aged 4 to 6, it serves as a first introduction to Aesop's fables.
Aesop was a Greek fabulist and storyteller credited with a number of fables now collectively known as Aesop's Fables. Although his existence remains unclear and no writings by him survive, numerous tales credited to him were gathered across the centuries and in many languages in a storytelling tradition that continues to this day. Many of the tales associated with him are characterized by anthropomorphic animal characters.
