  • The modern fable: The ant put all his money in Madoff Investments and lost it all, they both die in winter, but at least the grasshopper had some good times.

  • In the original fable, at the end, the ants say "That's the breaks, Grasshopper!" and the grasshopper dies.

  • Wow! i cant believe these children actually told that WHOLE story!! and they said it so well!

  • if you feed the grasshopper, you teach him that it is ok to slack off because someone will always cover for you. terrible idea.

  • Oh, how wonderful that these young ones learn this little story. My father told it to us kids all the time, but at the end he wouold alwas ask: "What is the right thing to do? Push the grashopper out the door into the cold?..... or give him what he needs so he willnot starve or freeze?" If I said, "Feed the grasshopper", then my dad would ask, "Why?" ....now I realize that he was tellilng me that I could be an ant or I could risk having enough when winter arrived!

  • Very nice! :-)
