The Grasshopper And The Ant





dverse


the grasshopper
sang all summer
frolicking
in the sunshine

the ant slaved
to store food

winter came
the ant had food
the grasshopper
had happy memories

  2. until he died
    from starvation
    which i imagine
    is a most horrible
    way to go.

    but we all have our
    priorities

  7. I love the fresh new take on this old fable. Planning for the future is important, but so is living in the present. Thanks for reminding me!
