THE ANT. THE TWO-LEGGED ANT, JUST LIKE THE MULTI-LEGGED ONE IS NOT GENEROUS, BUT THAT IS THE LEAST ONE CAN REPROACH HIM. THERE IS ONE DIFFERENCE THOUGH: THE FORMER IS SAVING IN EVERY SEASON AND NEVER CONSUMES, EVEN AT THE AGE OF 90 HE STILL ECONOMISES FOR HIS OLD DAYS. THIS TYPE OF ANT LEADS ALWAYS A MISERABLE LIFE. WHEN HE DIES, HE IS DEPRIVED OF EVERYTHING DESPITE OF THE PROVISIONS, BECAUSE HIS LAST SAVINGS ARE SPENT FOR HIS FUNERAL.

The ant. The two-legged ant, just like the multi-legged one is not generous, but that is the least one can reproach him. There is one difference though: the former is saving in every season and never consumes, even at the age of 90 he still economises for his old days. This type of ant leads always a miserable life. When he dies, he is deprived of everything despite of the provisions, because his last savings are spent for his funeral.
