The Ass and the Grasshopper

AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew." The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.

The donkey heard the grasshopper singing, Moved by the beautiful singing, he wanted to make the same beautiful voice, so he enviously asked them what they had eaten to produce such a beautiful voice. The grasshopper replied: "Eat dew." The donkey also only ate dew, and soon died of starvation.
