Giovanni takes the familiar story and gives it a new ending, turning it into a conversation about work, art, and fairness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grasshoppers spend the summer making music while the Ants work and gather food for winter. When winter comes, the Grasshoppers ask the Ants to share their harvest, but the Ants refuse. Jimmy Grasshopper decides to take the case to court. His argument is simple: the Grasshoppers’ music helped make the Ants’ work easier and more enjoyable, so shouldn’t that work have some value too?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough humor and a playful courtroom story, Giovanni asks what creative work is worth and whether value can always be measured by what we produce. \u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 20.8 x 22.1 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CHERUB","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55438258962774,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/1984\/4694\/files\/GIOVANNI-1.jpg?v=1789900309","url":"https:\/\/playlikecherub.com\/products\/the-grasshopper-s-song","provider":"CHERUB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
