In "Feeble Fable," Jughead takes the fable of the grasshopper and the ant a little too literally, hauling home a stack of firewood to prepare for winter. Betty and Veronica question the story’s fairness, while Jughead’s dad adds a surprising twist—pointing out that burning wood isn’t so great for the air.
