Once there lived an ass on a farm. He had a gentle master who treated allanimals with kindness and took great care of them. The ass enjoyed good food and lived merily.
One autumn, a grasshopper came playing on the grassland. The grasshopper hopped around and chirped loudly. He played happily and enjoyed in the beautiful farm. When the saw the grasshopper, he was surprised. He was enchanted to hear the chirping of grasshopper and asked him, 'Friend, you have a very melodious voice. I want to know the secret behind your voice. Please let me know what kind of food you eat that helps you in having such melodious voice'.
The grasshopper smiled and thanked the grasshopper. He said, 'Friend, we grasshoppers live on dew'.
The ass nodded his head. He resolved on live on dew to have an enchanting voice like grasshopper. But the ass starved and soon he died of hunger.
Moral: What one may live on, another may starve.
