The text of these cards starts as does La Fontaine in these beautifully colored cards. In this version, the ant offers the desperate grasshopper a hot soup. The grasshopper receives it gratefully, takes her hand, and takes off, as he must, for further adventures, "sur le grand route lointaine." Do I read the grasshopper's French correctly to say to the ant on the last card "La Fontaine missed your generosity"?
