Ant & Grasshopper

Ant & Grasshopper (Re-Loaded story in present
context of New Nepal 2065)


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 United
Nation's Secretary General, 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 calls
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; its
home is confiscated by the YCL and handed over to the
Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by Nepalese TV's &
BBC/CNN.

Prachande 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.
