    Fun fact: Gandhi lived and studied in London from 1888 until 1891. Jack The ripper also roamed the streets of London from 1888 until 1891....

    When I was young i was told another version of the story, featuring an industrious ant and a lazy cicada. When winter come, the cicada knocks on the ant door and asks for shelter. The ant just say "you passed the whole summer singing, now dance" and slams the door.
    Brutal, but works better.

    The story with the mice is normally or maybe initially the fable "La cigale et la fourmi" (the grasshopper & the ant) by Jean De La Fontaine. And at the end the grasshopper (lazy mouse) come to the door of the ant after singing all summer. And the ant replies : You singed? I am glad. Well dance now.

    Laughed at the story of the mice. Reminded me of certain members of my family who pissed away everything they earned, had, on the moment never considering the future. Then they show up at my door, the door of the person who saved while he lived more modestly, carefully, saving resources and expecting me to share what I had conserved with them.
    The attitude being that those who live more carefully are obligated to take care of those who don't.
    The fallacy of m@rxi$m is that it attracts the latter like flies and the savers, hard workers, they give up because they know the fruit of their efforts will be stolen from them, if not by the people themselves, by the state.
    Eventually the liability outweighs the assets and you end up with empty shelves and bread lines.
