The Grasshopper And The Eagle
Every morning, the grasshopper hopped from one blade of grass to the next eating as much as he could. Winter was approaching. In order to survive, he would stuff himself so much that he'd have plenty of nourishment to last until spring. He didn't want to end up like his cousin, who paid the price for his laziness.
Unfortunately, the grasshopper ate until the grass was literally hanging out of his mouth. A sharp-eyed eagle spotted the excess of grass and swooped down and ate him.
The moral of the story is never bite off more than you can chew.
