Descriptions:
In One Hundred Acorns is a version of Aesop’s fable, Ant and Grasshopper, in which we see the benefits of thinking ahead. Squirrel notices the signs that winter is on its way and thinks of the food she will need during that time. Rabbit isn’t concerned and is living for the moment. He is eating the grass and not thinking ahead to when it will be scarce.
