A Tribute to

LABOR

* The Ant and the Grasshopper

TheAnt works hard in the heat
all summer long,

building his house
and laying up supplies for the winter.

The Grasshopper

thinks he's 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
and is very sick and

WHINES! 

so he either dies out in the cold
or
begs and receives
humiliating charity
from the ant he teased.

One Grasshopper has a brilliant thought!

decides that
all Grasshoppers could benefit by
becoming managers
and
live off the labors of the ants!

Hence the Advent of LABOR Day!

The Grasshoppers
WATCH the Ants Labor
and Never worry about
starving in the cold again!
