Now That Summer is Gone is a 1938 Merrie Melodies cartoon short about a lazy squirrel who gambles for winter nuts against the other squirrels instead of gathering them himself.
Despite his father's advice not to gamble, the young squirrel still insists on the "easy way" on getting his nuts for winter. Before the first snow comes, the young squirrel is told to get their winter supply of nuts from the First Nutional Bank, and just before he leaves the front door, his father reminds him "And remember; no gambling!". On his way home with the nuts, the young squirrel sees a stranger who offers him a game of chance, and the foolish young squirrel (ignorning his father's warning) quickly jumps at the chance. The foolish young squirrel loses at every chance game.
