Got this from a friend. It made me chuckle. Two different versions, two different morals!
HISTORICAL 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 THIS STORY: Be responsible for yourself.
MODERN (Progressive) VERSION:
