The ant is a Communist (or perhaps a totalitarian), if you could ever call a non-human behavior that. She works hard so *others* can live warm and well-fed, while she dies before summer leaves. Ants are extremely indifferent to their own lives, just as all other social insects. This story makes no sense, and the moral is silly. Silly story, and illogical from the start.
