AN ASS having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted.
Yo, grasshopper! I heard you chirping and was highly enchanted!
Thank you!
Desiring to possess the same charms of melody, the Ass demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, "The dew."
What kind of food do you live on to give you such beautiful voices?
The dew.
The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.
I tried to live on dew but it turned me into a cheap hooker!
That's not how the story goes! You go back and fix that right now!
