Ant & Grasshopper The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the 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 building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, 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. Nepal Tv, Kantipur TV, Nepal 1, BBC, CNN 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? YCL stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house. Nagrik Samaj led by Dr Sundarmani Dixit goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter.
Amnesty International, Jimmy Carter and Ban ki Moon criticizes the Nepalese Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the Grasshopper. The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the Grasshopper
Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Upendra Yadav call for 'Nepal Bandh' Maobadi in immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants and Grasshoppers. Baburam allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all Nepali Buses aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath' . Finally, the Judicial Committee led by Daman nath Dhungana drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter. Madav Nepal makes 'Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & in Government Services. The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, it's home is confiscated by the YCL and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by Nepal Tv. Prachand calls it 'A Triumph of Justice'. YCL calls it 'Socialistic Justice'. Maobadi calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden' UN Secretary General invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly. Many years later... The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley 100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in Nepal
