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.

Telemachus restored to virtue. / His heart that too long Eucharis held / broke away one day and never felt / this fresh new love it changed forever / Go look for Daddy, said Mentor, the clever. (Fénélon Book XII)
