As they sat on the fence the grass
horpers chirped quietly to themselves.
They were talking about the unpleasant
results that had followed their search
for a wider sphere.
One g~rasshopper, lifted its long hind
legs, the lower parts of which were coy
cred with fine teeth, stroked the hard
outer covers of the wings as he cbirped:
For my part. | am tired of loking

Great and the ambitious seem to be the
objects OF too many dangers. I prefer
a more obscure life" All the grasshop-
pers chirped their assent.
The ambitious grasshopper was not
yet satisfied. and so he did not join his
companions when they flew away.
II was midday when he rose 10 hunt
something to eat. The sun was shining,
and so torrid was the air that the gras-
hopper waved his long a~ntennae diseon-
t~entedly. for hs knew so fierce a heat
would help TO dry up the juices in the
green plants on which he loved to feed.
He was about to descend upon some
late grain juice spreuting up through
the SOIL The sun dazzled his eyes, and
he could o quite make out where ne
was going. A sharp blade OF grass
struck him. II was as hard and stout
as a spear and. glanced off his hard
head. it entered his little thorax. The
ambitious grasshopper's career was
ended. He struggled for a few minutes.
and then all was over. The sun dried
up his body, and there he foated on the
grass stalk all summer, a mummihed
monument to the folly of misdirected
ambition.

The Ambitious Grasshopper.

Once upon a time there was an ambi-
tious grasshopper.
From the day he emerged from the
end of the row of tiny eggs in which
he and his brothers and sisters had de-
veloped he yearned for a wider sphere
CT usefulness" Little grasshopper did
not at first know what a wider
sphere" might be, for he had merely
picked UP the phase, although he had
been born restless instincts. 1t was a
humiliation to him that he should have
come from that insignificant row of
eggs. looking much like a small stick,
and kept warm in the plebeian ground,
instead of being Matched from a beauti-
full blue egg in a charming nest in the
tree tops, as the little robins were.
The robins soon proved to be less
lovely than he had imagined, gobbling
up his little brothers and sisters with
voracious appetites that greatly dis
turbed little grasshopper.
IF | were as big as the robins are, I
could go anywhere" he would complain
to himself. "As it is, I haven't a wing
with which to bless myself and am
