Leaping Match

Next up was the grasshopper. He told the crowd that he was born to royalty in Egypt, and it may even be true. He loved warm climates, and always wore the fine green suit he was given when he was born. The grasshopper lived in the city in a house made of cards, with all the faces turned in so they could listen to him singing. He sang so wonderfully that the other two crickets living there chirped themselves thin with jealousy.
