The ants were really, really hardworking and they also used to go extra mile to get that extra "food"for winter. Whatever aid foriegn aids came for grasshopper, the ant used siphoned them off and also since ants were in most of the high position such as police, custom, government office, they used to ensure that they be presented foods for minor works.

Over the years, the grasshoper got wiser and began to action in thier own hands and it's been reported some of the ants have migrated to places like US and Canada.

One of my fellow Singapore bhanja , who had gone for a Nepali function, recalls how a conversation went between two ants: " Khai ke garnu Nepal huda ta hami ghus khanteu.. Nepali ma ayeko foreign aids pani hamrai goji ma jantyo...yo US / Canada  ma pani  Nepali ma justai nagarnu bhaneko saro parkey raicha."

I don't like what is going on in Nepal but please don't generalise people. I know the threadstarter merely posted what is being passed around via email but to me it seems that whoever modified this ant and grasshoper story needs a conk on the head.
