Adorable and tender rendition of the ants and the grasshopper’s tale. I like the Asian tilt to it and the subltety. Great entry into the challenge.

This is awesome. I like my fridge realization of what story it was. The last bit of dialogue locked it in place for me. :D

I had to read the story of the grasshopper and the ant because I hadn’t heard of it and at the end it was really good. I liked how you said that Kiriko made fun of Ari for working all summer just like the ant and grasshopper.
Really good job tying that in!
