Grasshopper and Bulldozer

Grasshopper was small and fast,
Bulldozer was powerful and big.
They met on the road of life
And began to fight each other.

Grasshopper was more mobile than Bulldozer,
He deftly twisted and turned over.
But Bulldozer did not give up,
He kept moving forward.

Grasshopper climbed into narrow gap,
But Bulldozer managed to break it all.
Grasshopper hid in the grass,
But Bulldozer smoked grass with exhaust gas.

Grasshopper decided that it was time for him to stop,
And he regretted that he fought with Bulldozer.
Bulldozer smiled and forgave Grasshopper,
And he offered to work together in the field.

This is how fable could have ended,
If it was written by some humanist,
But we are honest realists,
We will not deceive anyone.
So Bulldozer drove through Grasshopper
Without even noticing,
And all that left of Grasshopper
Was wet nothingness.
