On a summer day Grasshopper dude was hanging when he saw Ant toiling.
‘Wassup bro come and chill', he called.
‘Far too busy, I must work or starve. Times change,’ sneered Ant.
Alas chill winter came.
Grasshopper warm and chewing on roasted Ant thought, Yep, change with the times, bro.
Ha.. loved how you changed the moral here.. really bril... and the language of that Grasshopper ...
ReplyDeleteIf only it was the hard workers that got the rewards!
DeleteChange with the times, nice twist in the ending ~ Enjoyed the down to earth personification of characters ~

Deleteha. i think this one is perhaps a bit more true to our world

Sadly so
DeleteIt is just unfair and one knows it. It somewhat ends in lots of injustice and one can only scream with horror but to no effect. Strength has its advantages, unfair advantages! Nicely!

Pity the sneering ant copped it. I rather admired his defiance.

ReplyDeleteGood to know
DeleteHa!Ha!Loved this modern,though bit cruel take on the original fable-poor toiling ant ;-)
ReplyDeleteLife you see!
DeleteMuch more true to life, though the grasshoppers rarely invited the hardworking ants to join in the fun.
