The Ass and the Grasshopper


An Ass was resting when he heard a Grasshopper singing nearby. The Grasshopper's song was beautiful, and the Ass asked, “What do you eat to sing so well?”

The Grasshopper replied, “I drink the dew and eat fresh herbs.”

The Ass tried the same—but got sick and realized his body wasn't built for that kind of diet or music.

Moral: Don’t envy others without understanding what truly suits you.
