The Ant & the Grasshopper?NEW VERSIONThe ant works hard, in the withering heat all summer long. He builds his?

Question

house and stores supplies for the winter.



The grasshopper thinks that the ant is a fool. He laughs, dances and
plays
the summer away, preparing nothing for the coming winter.



Winter comes, the ant is safe and warm. The shivering grasshopper calls
a
press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be
warm and fed, while others are cold and starving!



CBS, NBC, ABC & CNN show up to provide pictures of shivering
grasshoppers,
next to a video of an ant in his comfortable home, with a table filled
with
food.



America is stunned by the sharp contrast! How can this be, that in a
country of such wealth, this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer this
way?



Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah, with the grasshopper. Everyone cries
when
they sing "It's Not Easy Being Green".



Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant's house, where
the
news stations film the group singing "We Shall Overcome".



Jesse then has the group pray for the grasshopper's sake, and reminds
the
group to contribute to his group, so that he can "continue the fight"
for
grasshoppers, everywhere!



Ted Kennedy & John Kerry exclaim, in an interview with Tom Brokaw, that
the
ant has gotten rich, off the back of the poor grasshopper!



Both call for an immediate tax hike, to make the ant pay "his fair
share"!



Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity For Grasshoppers Act",
retroactive to the beginning of the summer.



The ant is fined for failing to hire the proportionate number of green
bugs
and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his house is
confiscated by the government.



Hillary Clinton gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper, in a
defamation suit against the ant. The case is tried in federal court,
with a
jury comprised of unemployed welfare recipients.



Surprise! The ant loses the case!



The story ends, as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of
the
ant's food, while the government house he lives in (which happens to be
the
ant's old house) crumbles around him, due t o lack of maintenance!

The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found, dead, in
a
drug-related incident. The house, now abandoned, is taken over by a
gang of
spiders, who terrorize this once-peaceful neighborhood.



THE END.

Answer 3

That's a good one. It's sad but true.

I always ask, “What ever happened to personal responsibility?”

You know that it is sick that some people (liberals) exploit others just so that they can look like a hero. Why isn’t Jesse Jackson preaching personal responsibly? They make it seem like it is cruel to hold these poor, poor people responsible for their ill fate.

Answer 4

That was cute, here is a song that my mother sang to me when I was a child
A grasshopper, hopped to a grand oak tree and asked the little ant "to come and play with me, come and play, come and play"
the little ant said" no I have to work and I can not play, but I'll go with you on another day, so hop away, hop away".
