The ANT AND THE 

GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different ..

Fwd: Two Different Versions .. 

Two Different Morals

OLD VERSION

The ant works 

hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. 

The grasshopper 

thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. 

Come winter, the ant is warm 

and well fed. 

The grasshopper has 

no food or shelter, so he 

dies out in the cold. 

MORAL OF THE OLD STORY:

Be responsible for yourself!

MODERN 

VERSION

The ant works hard 

in the withering heat and the rain all summer long, building his house

and laying up supplies for the winter. 

The grasshopper thinks the ant 

is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away. 

Come winter, the shivering grasshopper 

calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be 

allowed to be warm and well fed while he is cold and starving. 

CBS, NBC, PBS, CNN,   

and ABC show up to 

provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper 

next to a video of the 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 so? 

Kermit the Frog appears 

on Oprah 

with the grasshopper 

and everybody cries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green' 

Occupy the Anthill stages 

a demonstration in front of the ant's house where the news stations film the 

Black Lives Matter group singing, We shall overcome.

Then Reverend Al Sharpton  

has the group kneel down to pray for the grasshopper 

while he dam*s the ants. He later appears on MSNBC to complain that rich people do not care. 

Former President Obama condemns the ant 

and blames 

Donald Trump, President Bush 43, President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher Columbus, and the 

Pope 

for the grasshopper's 

plight. 

Nancy Pelosi & Chuck Schumer   

exclaim in an interview on The View 

that the ant has 

gotten rich off the back of the 

grasshopper, 

and both call for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. 

Finally, the EEOC drafts 

the Economic Equity & 

Anti-Grasshopper Act 

retroactive to the beginning of 

the summer. 

The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number 

of green bugs and

having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the  

Government Green Czar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and given to the grasshopper.

The story ends as we see the grasshopper 

and his free-loading friends finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in,  

which, as you recall, just happens to be the ant's old house, 

crumbles around them because the grasshopper doesn't maintain it. 

The ant has disappeared in the snow, never to be seen again. 

The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident, and the house, now abandoned, is taken 

over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the ramshackle, once prosperous and peaceful, neighborhood. 

The entire Nation collapses 

bringing the rest 

of the free world with it.

MORAL OF THE STORY:

Be careful how you vote in 2020.
