Grasshopper
thought that it was fair
To have
some ants give him a share
Of food
for which they'd labored long,
And he
would pay them with a song.
The
ants perhaps were too astute
To give
up food without dispute,
But
Armadillo ate the lot,
And now
what had Grasshopper got?
Then
while he wondered what to eat,
A
walking stick made him its meat;
Now
ants and he have all been ate,
And
that's as fair as life can get.
