What’s a fable or parable about someone who is willfully ignoring the danger before them and is always la-de-da optimistic until it’s too late?

I want to say The Grasshopper and the Ant or even “it’s not the nail” but surely there’s a specific mythic figure I can point to, like Sisyphus or Damocles (but not them).
