An Ass, having heard some Grasshoppers chirping, was highly enchanted; and, desiring to possess the same charms of melody, demanded what sort of food they lived on to give them such beautiful voices. They replied, “The dew.”[1] The Ass resolved that he would live only upon dew, and in a short time died of hunger.

Moral of the story: Beware fad diets.
