Grasshopper and the Ant

I recalled the fable of the Grasshopper and the Ant as I used to read about it when I was little.



The grasshopper spent the warm months~when food was abundant by indulging in singing & dancing He was generally enjoying himself while the ants worked hard to store up food for the colder months which they knew were coming. And sure enough when winter comes, the ants were prepared and the grasshopper starved.




Well in our own country today–and particularly among the Malaysians –there seems to be a lot of grasshoppers and very few ants. Sadly, the grasshoppers have been spoon-fed by the leaders whom were elected from the grasshopper's community. These lucky grasshoppers had been surviving on the produce of the ants.



Hence, the unlucky ants toiled all their lives to make a decent living and then watched helplessly ......everytime a substantial of their daily produce being given away to their leaders which naturally comprises of the grasshoppers.



For the past 5 decades, the ants had been scarifying for this country which is ruled by the grasshoppers. This had taken a tremendous toll on the ants community.



The grasshoppers dependence on the ants earnings is totally intolerable.


Apparently in the fable version, rather than admitting that he’d been lazy in not preparing for the cold weather, the grasshoppers pretended that there’s actually a winter’s worth of food located just beneath his feet. And that's what keeps him digging up further from the poor ants.
