New Version of Ant & Grasshopper.

THE NEW ANT and the Grasshopper,






Two Versions:











The ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER










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 cannot






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
