Ant and Grasshopper 2008 version
The moral of the 2 stories should be read and understood by all
This one is a little different.
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 STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and

conference and demands to know why the ant should be
allowed to be warm and well-fed while others are 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.'
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 kneel down to pray to God for
the grasshopper's sake.
Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with
Larry King 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, President Obama approves the EEOC draft from
the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Act, retroactive
to the beginning of the summer.

oh hell.. I won't even read that sh**.
