I learned the Disney version of the grasshopper and the ant where the queen lets the grasshopper in where it’s warm because he fiddled so well.

I even remember the grasshopper’s song:

Oh the world owes me a living, deedle diedle deedle diedle dum.

If I worked hard all day I might

Sleep better when in bed at night

But I sleep all day so that’s all right

deedle diedle deedle diedle dumb.

Sixty years ago Disney began its subtle programming on me and my society.
