The Ant and the Grasshopper Mystery Cache
Darth Leviosa: Archiving a set of caches which includes this one. Sadly, the small puzzle community is not very active anymore, so there's no real point in keeping these around. My thanks and kudos to those who put in the time to solve the puzzles and find the caches. I hope you had a memorable experience.

There once lived an ant named Levene and a grasshopper named Fred. Levene was a very industrious ant who worked hard all summer, collecting food and storing it for the long cold winter. Fred, on the other hand, would dance around and sing songs all day. Food was plentiful and winter was a long way away, so why worry? Despite their differences, Fred and Levene became friends. Being technically savvy, they had smartphones and would often text each other. This was an exchange they had in the summer.
Time passed and Fred continued playing all day while Levene kept working hard. The weather started turning colder, but Fred still didn't bother storing up any food for the winter. One day, a huge snowstorm thrashed the area. The temperatures dropped quickly, and all the plentiful food that had once filled the landscape was dead and gone. Levene was resting comfortably in his well stocked home when Fred, who was stuck outside in the snow, started texting him.
So in the end, who was more at fault? Fred was obviously a lazy slacker with horrible grammar, but Levene was a psychopath who let his own friend starve.
