Ant and the Grasshopper both Classic and Modern version

CLASSIC 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 that Ant is a fool and he
laughs and dances and plays
the summer away.
As the winter approaches, ant is warm and well fed.
The grasshopper has no
food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.

MODERN 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 that ant is
fool, and he laughs and dances and plays the summer
away.
As the winter approaches, the shivering grasshopper
calls a press conference
and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to
be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.
BBC, CNN, AAJ TAK, NDTV 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.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can
this be that this poor
grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the
ant’s house.
Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticize the
Government for not
upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper.
The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking
support to the
grasshopper.
Opposition MP’s stage a walkout.
Left parties call for “Bharat Bandh” in West Bengal
and Kerala demanding a
Judicial Enquiry.
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the “Prevention
of Terrorism Against
Grasshoppers Act” [POTAGA], with effect from the
beginning of the winter.
The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA
and, having nothing left
to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated
by the government and
handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered
by BBC, CNN, AAJ TAK
and NDTV.
Arundhati Roy calls it “a triumph of justice”.
Koffi Annan invites the grasshopper to address the UN
General Assembly.
