Here we have a creature known as the Andrewius Laziarse. See him desperately scrabbling to build his home. He’s been a layabout all summer, not doing a skerrick of work. All of a sudden, Winter comes and the Andrewius has to rush about madly to fix his house in time before the rain and cold winds set in. Take careful note of the indignant expression upon his face. He’s outraged that no-one warned him that Winter was coming.

Ah, look at that. He’s decided that he’s too late to finish his house this year and has decided to live in a hole for the winter. No doubt he’s already dreaming of the great house he’ll make next year. He’s probably thinking he’ll start building as soon as the snow thaws. But we know that first he’ll have a snooze in the sun and then he’ll play with his friends and then he’ll decide to start on midsummer’s day. We all know what will happen. Isn’t it lucky that we’re so much smarter than this little dumb creature?
