Why the grasshopper is lazy/? Why is play his his top priority? Why doesn't he believe the ant...?
Maybe too much ritalin as a child? Too many Percaset as an adult, too much t.v. to numb the ruler induced emotional pains. He's a zombie from the planet Tartazine maybe. The Ant would be like a person who was given good lessons in life from his parents, or from his own seeking, who found the simple things in life to be much more happy making than playing without the surity of eating the next day.

when i was a kid, I do remember hearing the version with the grasshopper dying at end. I wonder if Disney changed it.

As a grasshopper, you have nothing an ant values with the possible exception of your flesh. You can not hire them. Go back to playing. We've got stuff to do.

I want to be the grasshopper who hires the idiot drone ants who do my bidding... Now, back to work ants!!!

@ricky95713 Dude, you are 23. I got the moral of the story when I was something like 7 years old. How is it you don't get it? The moral is not that a moral being couldn't watch his neighbor who is a slacker(sloth is a deadly sin for a reason= amoral) starve. It's not to be a slacker to begin with. As in; there is plenty of time to goof off when the work is done. Carry it further: who in the ants colony does he tell to starve if the portions the slacker ate are needed if Winter goes long?

@p2pat Well, the guy used to do his podcast through a headset on a small sound recorder, on the highway, on his way to work. Yeah... Not the best sound quality, huh? But believe me, it was a good podcast, and its popularity really took off.
