1 Bible Edition Summary Ants have to work hard during the summer to build their homes and gather food for the winter, but the Dilly Dally family have a different tradition: they always play first. If they have any time, then they work a little. The Family Work Play ants, however, first build their house and gather their food, then they relax and have fun. So they built a strong house and had lots of food for the coming winter. When the long, cold winter came, the Dilly Dally family had a tough time getting food and keeping warm. However, they learned an important lesson, and changed their name to Family Work First. In this delightful and inspiring book by Carl Sommer shows the importance of diligence, responsibility, and having a proper work ethic. Children will learn that by working first and playing later, it will bring much greater happiness.

2 Laziness Brings Poverty Papa Work Play immediately gathered his family together. It takes a lot of hard work to build a new home. Let s get started right away. Papa Dilly Dally immediately found a place to rest. We have plenty of time to build a new home. Let s rest first and have some fun. Papa Dilly Dally and his family were lazy they did not like to work. * Proverbs 6:6-11 Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise, [7] which, having no captain, overseer or ruler, [8] provides her supplies in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest. [9] How long will you slumber, O sluggard? When will you rise from your sleep? [10] A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to sleep [11] so shall your poverty come on you like a prowler, and your need like an armed man. Proverbs 10:4-5 He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. [5] He who gathers in summer is a wise son; he who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame. Proverbs 12:24 The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor. Hebrews 6:11-12 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope until the end, [12] that you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. * The check is a recommended scripture to teach the particular lesson. All verses are from the New King James Version. Additional verses: Proverbs 13:4; Proverbs 19:15; Proverbs 24:30-34 Diligence and Responsibility Family Work Play went right to work. In their home it was early to bed and early to rise. We are Family Work Play! Papa would say. And that means we work first, then we play. Every day we will have time to relax and play, but we must always do our work first. Family Work Play had the right attitude about work and play. They played and relaxed, but only after they did their work for the day. They were diligent and responsible. They learned how to balance work and play. 2

3 Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return. Acts 20:34-35 Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have provided for my necessities, and for those who were with me. [35] I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Ephesians 4:28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. 2 Thessalonians 3:10-13 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. [11] For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies. [12] Now those who are such we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. [13] But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. Additional verses: Proverbs 20:4, 21:25; 1 Corinthians 4:12; 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 Listening to Friends Every day as Family Work Play went to gather food, Family Dilly Dally would call out to them, Come! Play ball with us. We can t play now, the hard-working ants would say. We must work first, then we can play. Don t be so foolish! Family Dilly Dally would say. Be like us! We play first, then we work. Oh, no! In our family, we work first. The children in Family Work Play were wise. They would not listen to the advice of their friends. Psalm 1:1-2 Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; [2] but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. Psalm 119:115 Depart from me, you evildoers, for I will keep the commandments of my God! 3

4 Proverbs 4:14-15 Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of evil. [15] Avoid it, do not travel on it; turn away from it and pass on. Proverbs 13:20 He who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will be destroyed. James 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Additional verses: Psalm 26:4-5, Proverbs 14:7, Ephesians 5:11 Warning People of Their Evil Ways Mama Work Play felt sad for Family Dilly Dally. We must warn our friends that unless they work first, things will be very hard for them when the cold winter comes. Mama Work Play went and warned Mama Dilly Dally, but Mama Dilly Dally didn t listen to her warning. Leviticus 19:17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him. Proverbs 15:31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life will abide among the wise. Proverbs 27:5-6 Open rebuke is better than love carefully concealed. [6] Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful. Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. Additional verses: Proverbs 9:8; Proverbs 25:12; Proverbs 28:23; Ecclesiastes 4:13; 1 Thessalonians 5:14; 2 Timothy 4:2; Revelation 3:19 4

5 Law of Sowing and Reaping Family Work Play had a warm, cozy home. They did not have to go out into the cold to find something to eat. Family Dilly Dally did not prepare for winter, even when they were warned. Now they had to dig through ice and snow to find food. Every day it was the same for Family Dilly Dally searching and digging, digging and searching and still their tummies were never quite full. Although they grumbled and complained, it did them no good. Now it was all work...and no play. You reap what you sow. Psalm 126:5-6 Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. [6] He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. Proverbs 11:18 The wicked man does deceptive work, but he who sows righteousness will have a sure reward. Proverbs 22:8 He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, and the rod of his anger will fail. 2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Galatians 6:7-8 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. [8] For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Additional verses: Job 4:8, Romans 2:6-10 Helping Those Who Refuse to Work Family Dilly Dally was lazy and did not want to work. They were more interested in having lots of fun. Finally the time came when they had to work in order to get their food. Then Papa Dilly Dally said, I ve got a great idea! I ll ask Family Work Play for help. They have plenty of food. Mama Work Play felt sorry for them and thought they should try to feed them. But Papa Work Play said, I feel sorry for them, too. But if we feed them, they might never learn to work first. Besides, if they work very hard, they will find enough food even if it gets icy cold. Papa Work Play was not cruel, for he knew that if they would work hard there was enough food. We should be careful to help the poor (see next list of scriptures), but it is not wise to help those who are lazy. We should apply the scriptural principle of If a man will not work, he shall not eat. 5

6 Leviticus 19:9-10 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. [10] And you shall not glean your vineyard, nor shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger: I am the Lord your God. Ephesians 4:28 Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. 1 Thessalonians 4:11 That you also aspire to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, 2 Thessalonians 3:10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat. Additional verses: Genesis 3:19, Deuteronomy 24:19-21, 1 Thessalonians 4:11, 1Timothy 5:9-10 Helping the Poor Papa Work Play did not want to help Family Dilly Dally because they were lazy. He knew that they could find enough food if they worked hard. However, we need to be very careful that we do not become hard hearted. God wants us to be kind and generous to the poor and needy. Proverbs 19:17 He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given. Proverbs 22:9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor. Luke 12:33 Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. Acts 20:35 I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 1 John 3:17-18 But whoever has this world s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? [18] My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. Additional verses: Deuteronomy 15:11; Proverbs 21:13; Proverbs 28:27; Isaiah 58:7-10; Matthew 19:21, 25:35-36; Luke 14:12-14; 1 Timothy 6:17-18; Hebrews 13:16 6

7 Proper Work Ethic Brings Success Papa Dilly Dally had learned his lesson. Papa Dilly Dally made a wise choice by changing his name from Family Dilly Dally to Family Work First. Having the proper work ethic brings success. Proverbs 10:4 He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. Proverbs 12:24 The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor. Proverbs 13:4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. 2 Tim. 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Hebrews 6:12 That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Additional verses: Proverbs 12:11; Proverbs 14:23; Proverbs 21:5; Proverbs 22:29; 1 Corinthians 15:58 Always play first. Work only when there is time. Don t do your homework. Don t study or do the required lessons. Be late. Take off from school. Don t listen to your parents or teachers. Do whatever your friends are doing. Always complain when there is work to do. Think only about yourself. How to Fail Work first, then play. Make time for work. Do your homework. Study and do the required lessons. Be on time. Always be in school. Listen to your parents and teachers. Do what s right regardless of what others are doing. Be a willing worker. Think about others. How to Succeed 7
