THE NEW ANT and the Grasshopper, Two Versions:
From: David M. Adam, Jr.
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 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 SEIU group singing, We shall
overcome.
Then Rev Al Sharpton's
assistant has the group kneel down to
pray for the grasshopper
while he damns the ants.
The Reverend Al can not attend as he has contractual
commitments to appear on his MSNBC show for which he is paid
over two million dollars a year to complain that rich people
do not care.
President
Obama condemns
the ant and blames
President Bush 43,
President Bush 41, President Reagan, Christopher
Columbus, and the Pope for
the grasshopper's
plight..
Nancy Pelosi & Harry
Reid 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 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
2016.
I've sent this to you
because I believe that you are an
ant not a grasshopper !
Make sure that you
pass this on to other ants
.
Don't bother
sending it on to any
grasshoppers because they
wouldn't understand it,
anyway
