The theme of this short fable is to always be prepared. In the tale, the Grasshopper asks for help but the ants won't help because they know he should have prepared for winter instead of singing all summer. Being prepared is what the story is about especially when the ants tell the Grasshopper to 'spend the winter dancing' instead of helping him.
