Grasshopper | Sunday Nov 09, 2008
My grandmother used to tell bedtime stories in order to get her visiting grandchildren asleep. In the hot summertime, we'd all sleep in a long room called 'the sleeping porch' basically a room on one end of the house with rows of beds and walls of open windows.
I loved her stories, but prayed for a breeze.
One of the tales that stuck with me was about 'the Grasshopper and the Ant' (which I later learned was based on one of Aesop's Fables.) Her version was longer, but the point was the same and appropriate even in this age.
