So they went to their representative, the Elephant. <br /><br />Now the Elephant could have easily stepped on the Grasshopper and ended the whole affair, but was afraid of how the Monkeys would report it. So the Elephant reached across the meadow to get the Ant and the Grasshopper to compromise. The Ant was made to "only give a little" corn and the Grasshopper was told he could have some of the Elephant's peanuts.<br /><br />This satisfied the Grasshopper for a season. However, not long afterwards all the other Grasshoppers found out and the following harvest descended like locusts on both the Ants and Elephant leaving neither corn nor peanuts.USArtguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062334713741697082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-66423122116708884612010-04-14T20:09:44.862-04:002010-04-14T20:09:44.862-04:00Bev, The elephant is in the sequel. . .
