I received this story of Ant and Grasshopper in my inbox today.. The writer has tried his/her best to prove royals and king as hard working Ant.. To me, all he's done is bringing 'regression' to the country after infamous Narayanhiti Kanda. However, this story worth reading.. and have your say....
Ant &
Grasshopper The Ant works hard in
the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for
the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs
& dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the Ant is warm
and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the
cold.
New Version: NepalThe Ant works hard in the
withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for
the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs
& dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering
Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should
be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and
starving. Nepal Tv, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of
the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable
home with a table filled with food. The World is stunned by the sharp
contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer
so? YCL stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's
house. Nagrik Samaj goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers
demanding that Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during
winter. Amnesty International and Koffi Annan criticizes the
Nepalese Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the
Grasshopper. The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking
support to the Grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for
prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance)
. Opposition MPs stage a walkout. Upendra Yadav call for 'Nepal
Bandh' Maobadi in immediately passes a law preventing Ants from
working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among Ants
and Grasshoppers. Baburam allocates one free coach to Grasshoppers on all
Nepali Buses aptly named as the 'Grasshopper Rath' . Finally, the
Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers
Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter. Madav
Nepal makes 'Special Reservation ' for Grasshoppers in Educational institutions & in Government Services. The Ant is fined for failing
to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive
taxes, it's home is confiscated by the YCL and handed over to the
Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by Nepal Tv. Prachand calls it 'A
Triumph of Justice'. YCL calls it 'Socialistic Justice'. Maobadi
calls it the 'Revolutionary Resurgence of the Downtrodden' UN
Secretary General invites the Grasshopper to address the UN General
Assembly.
Many years later... The Ant has since migrated to the
US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in
SiliconValley 100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation
despite reservation somewhere in Nepal
