The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, as he continues his life long project of building his house and laying in the supplies he will need for the inevitable winter season. The grasshopper, playful character that he is, spends his time laughing, dancing, and partying the time away. Eventually, the summer comes to an end as fall comes - yet still the grasshopper refuses to take any responsible action, and continues to play as if there is no tomorrow.

    Ultimately, winter arrives and the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper, who has steadfastly refused to sow any good seeds whatsoever, has no food or shelter, and he eventually dies out in the cold.

    The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, as he continues his life long project of building his house and laying in the supplies he will need for the inevitable winter season. The grasshopper, playful character that he is, spends his time laughing, dancing, and partying the time away. Eventually, the summer comes to an end as fall comes - yet still the grasshopper refuses to take any responsible action, and continues to play as if there is no tomorrow.

    Ultimately, winter arrives and the now 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.

    Television crews from CBS, NBC, ABC, and CNN show up for the press conference, and they provide a studio analysis that includes live remote video footage of the suffering grasshopper on a split-screen right next to a live satellite feed of the ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.

    America is stunned by the incredibly sharp contrast. How can this be, they wonder, 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 along with the studio audience "It's Not Easy Being Green." Jesse Jackson and Bishop T D Jakes stage a demonstration in front of the ant's house, where the various news networks all cover the massive protest as the group sings, "We shall overcome." Jakes and Jesse, now joined by Al Sharpton, Ralph Nader, and several priestly looking pedophiles have the spiritually minded group kneel down to pray to their collective God beseeching the divine power on behalf of the grasshopper.

    Al Gore exclaims in a network interview with Peter Jennings that the ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and calls for an immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his "fair share." The European Community brags that such a hideous miscarriage of justice would never happen in their Socialist utopian system.

    The United Nations General Assembly adopts a resolution condemning the American government for allowing such a grossly unfair situation to develop. The Homeland Security Office leaks it to the media they are considering investigatin the ant as a domestic terrorist.

    Finally, the EEOC drafts the "Economic Equity and 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.

    Hillary Clinton, leveraging her Senatorial powers, calls from New York and gets her old law firm to represent the grasshopper in an unfair trade practices suit against the ant. She than arranges to have the case tried before a panel of Federal judges that her husband ex-President Bill Clinton had appointed from a list of single-parent welfare recipients. Predictably, the ant loses the case.

    The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits of the ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to be the ant's old house, crumbles around him because the grasshopper is too lazy to maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow.

    By the following spring, 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 once peaceful neighborhood.
