This is the English version of a short Wolastoqey story told by my great aunt Carole Polchies from Woodstock First Nation for the app Nitap: Legends of the First Nations.

When winter comes Grasshopper has no food left and the Ants share their food and warm up his frozen legs so he can play his instrument once more.
