Some great discoveries are made accidentally. In Egypt, in 1799 a French officer was walking slowly and saw a highly unusual stone which was partially buried in the mud. There were three inscriptions on the stone that was rather flat. The first one was in ancient Egyptian, the second one in the later Egyptian language. The third was in Greek. The message was identically stated in the three languages. The easily readable Greek gave the scholars the needed key. The message was understood and the text in ancient Egyptian was translated. Today, the historically important Rosetta Stone is in the British Museum of London and it is permanently displayed there.
"Stop and talk to me," said the grasshopper. "We can sing some songs and dance a while."
"Oh no," said the ant. "Winter is coming. I am storing up food for the winter. I think you should do the same."
"Oh, I can't be bothered," said the grasshopper. "Winter is a long time off. There is plenty of food." So the grasshopper continued to dance and sing and chip and the ant continued to work.
When winter came the grasshopper had no food and was starving. He went to the ant's house and asked, "Can I have some wheat or maybe a few kernels of corn. Without it I will starve," whined the grasshopper.
"You danced last summer," said the ants in disgust. "You can continue to dance." And they gave him no food.
There is a time to work and a time to play.
на Русском:
Попрыгунья Стрекоза
Лето красное пропела;
Оглянуться не успела,
Как зима катит в глаза.
Помертвело чисто поле;
Нет уж дней тех светлых боле,
Как под каждым ей листком
Был готов и стол и дом.
Всё с зимой холодной
Нужда, голод настает;
Стрекоза уж не поет:
И кому же в ум пойдет
На желудок петь голодный!
Злой тоской удручена,
К Муравью ползет она:
"Не оставь меня, кум милый!
Дай ты мне собраться с силой
И до вешних только дней
Прокорми и обогрей!"-
"Кумушка, мне странно это:
Да работала ль ты в лето?"-
Говорит ей Муравей.
"До того ль, голубчик, было?
В мягких муравах у нас -
Песни, резвость всякий час,
Так что голову вскружило".-
"А, так ты..." - "Я без души
Лето целое всё пела".-
"Ты всё пела? Это дело:
Так пойди же, попляши!"
