A Discovery

NOW IT It has become
certain that the ants are saving
almost anything
from crumbs of bread to
cut pieces of leaves
and shreds of earthworms

not because they expect
to live for the rainy days
or survive the
storm
but because
they all want to escape
from the oppression
of the
Grasshopper.
