Anthony Ant y Grady Grasshopper

Abstract

The title-page contuinues Una Nueva Versión de La Fábula de Esopo: La Hormiga y el Saltamontes. Anthony is on roller-skates. Page 5 offers a view of him in action that is something like an Eadweard Muybridge series of photographs. Anthony calls Grady an actor and even Mr. Showstopper. In this version, Anthony gives Grady the deserved lecture in winter but then invites him to eat. Grady learns his lesson and, when summer next comes, he sings while he works, and sometimes Anthony even sings along. There are three songs by Floyd Johnson Jr. at the end of the story: Back and Forth; A little food; and You sang and you sang.
