The Ant and the Grasshopper

An ant looks at a grasshopper that is playing a violin.

In this reimagining of Aesop's well known fable, a lone ant finds beauty in the grasshopper's music, and inspires her entire colony to take up percussion. Yet in spite of the richness that music brings to their lives, she has trouble convincing her fellow ants that the grasshopper's dedication to his art still counts as a work, or that he deserves their help when winter comes.
