The Ass and the Grasshopper 
        AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly 
        enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, 
        demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such 
        beautiful voices. 
        They replied, "The dew." 
        The Ass resolved that 
        he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger. 
        Even a fool is wise-when it is too late |
