Lefty the Ant says George should not call the grasshopper a bum and should call him homeless instead.  Why would an ant who wants George to give his food to the grasshopper not want George to call the grasshopper a bum?

Lefty the Ant wants to control what George thinks by controlling what he's allowed to say.
If George calls the grasshopper a bum he'll think it's the grasshoppers fault that he's hungry so George would be less likely to give him food
Calling the grasshopper homeless makes it more likely that George will think of the grasshopper as an innocent victim so George would be more likely to give him food.
