Love is blind is a #mustwatch dating show as it shows an entertaining way of finding love, by having 30 singles date each other for up to 10 days without ever seeing each other.  Then, it's up to them whether they choose to get engaged if they believe that they have found the love of their life or go back home. Only after getting engaged do they actually get to meet each other. I do think it's a crazy way of searching for love. 

Please share your thoughts about this show in the comments section. I hope you enjoy watching the show :)

La cigarra y la hormiga

Durante el verano,
cantaba la cigarra
sin parar ni un momento,
mientras la hormiga
con gran esfuerzo
transportaba el grano
a su escondrijo.

Cuando llegó el invierno,
la cigarra, sin nada que comer,
fue a pedir a la hormiga
un poco de comida.
"Por favor," dijo,
"tengo hambre. Déjame
algún grano para pasar
este invierno tan cruel."

La hormiga preguntó:
"¿Qué hacías tú en el verano
cuando yo trabajaba
sin descanso?"

"Yo cantaba y cantaba
bajo el sol radiante,"
respondió la cigarra.

"¿Cantabas?" replicó la hormiga.
"Pues ahora baila."

Y la hormiga cerró la puerta.

Moraleja

La moraleja de esta fábula es clara: es importante ser previsor y trabajar duro para asegurarse un futuro seguro. La historia destaca el valor de la diligencia y la responsabilidad.
