The Cicada and the Ant

I just translated my first French poem, "La cigale et la fourmi" by Fontaine. It was his version of the fable of the ant and the grasshopper. What fun! It has been many years since I have been pouring over a text with a dictionary in hand, struggling through a foreign language. And French is totally new to me today. Tres cool.

You can hear a reading of the poem here.
