He has, perhaps to avoid his enemies, perhaps because of a fondness for roots, taken to living beneath the sod.
The long legs of the grasshopper have be- come short, but intensely strong, and heavily beset with spikes. These become power- ful instruments to push him through the earth, and make him an exceedingly un- comfortable fellow to hold tight in one's hand. In such a life the gaudy colors with which most grasshoppers deck such portions of their bodies as they can promptly conceal would be... useless, because unseen, and the cricket paints himself a dull brown. But when his enemies have gone to sleep, the cricket comes to the surface and under the pale light of the stars fiddles, to the listening knees of his skipping mate, the old, old tale.
But while perhaps a genuine lover of na- ture will reason out within himself the charm of the cricket's song, a more widely loved 11 162 UNDER THE OPEN SKY songster, clad in raiment gorgeous even for so renowned a singer, takes up a central position in the scene and gives a note or two to remind us of what he could do were the concert season not already over.
