How narrow is the vision that exalts the busyness of the ant above the singing of the grasshopper.
~Sand and Foam by Kahlil Gibran http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks05/0500611h.html

Because grasshoppers have such powerful jumping legs, people sometimes don’t realize that they also have wings. Grasshoppers use their jumping ability to give them a boost into the air but most are pretty strong fliers and make good use of their wings to escape predators.
