One summer's day, a merry Grasshopper was dancing, singing and playing his violin with all his heart. He saw an Ant passing by working hard to store food for the winter. "Come and sing with me instead of working so hard," said the Grasshopper. "Let's have fun together." "I must store food for the winter," said the Ant, "and I advise you to do the same." "Don't worry about winter, it's still very far away," said the Grasshopper, laughing at him. But the Ant wouldn't listen and continued to work. When winter came, the starving Grasshopper went to the Ant's house and humbly begged for something to eat. "If you had listened to my advice in the summer you would not now be in need," said the Ant. "I'm afraid you will have to go without supper," and he closed the door.

Which of the following best describes the conflicting perspectives of the two characters?

A) The Grasshopper cannot see past today whereas the Ant looks to the future.
B) The Grasshopper wants to focus on music and the violin, whereas the Ant wants to focus on food.
C) The Grasshopper doesn't need to eat in the winter, whereas the Ant does need to eat in the winter.
D) The Grasshopper wants to enjoy life, whereas the Ant wants to work through life.
