The grasshopper tried his best to spread joy in the world, but the selfish ant spent all his waking ours plotting to proclaim himself the winner when the time was right.

Make the ant a Bernie Madoff figure who worked studiously to defraud his investors and steal all their money to prepare for the winter Make the grasshopper a cultural icon whose only crime was posting his music online in a pay-what-you-want format

It's built into the entomology. Neither grasshoppers or worker ants would survive the winter, and while the ant is working for it's colony, grasshoppers don't work like that. The story seemed to shame insects for being what they are. It's why it's beloved by religious cons.

The obvious way to do it is to portrait the grasshopper as an "individual" and the ant as just one cog in the faceless borg that is the ant colony. The *interesting* 2nd twist is to accept the above and ask, yeah, so what, what's so wrong about borgs and ant colonies?
