Zeus and the greedy Ant |
A Greek Fable by the story-teller Aesop
 Once upon a time there were no ants as we know them today. The ant used to be a greedy man who worked tirelessly in the fields and who, despite his hard work, tried to scrounge the labor of his neighbors.
Zeus, the King of the gods, resented the man for his greed and one day he transformed him into an ant. However, the man never changed habits. To this day, he walks around fields, picks the fruits and labors of others and puts them aside for himself.
The fable shows us that no matter how someone changes his looks, if he has a malicious character his behavior remains the same.
