Can anybody help me find a short story?

The tale was about a salesman on a planet inhabited by insect-like aliens. For most of the story, he struggles to accept his new life, but at the end he finally understands the philosophy of the aliens, and changes his life because of it.

I read it in some sort of anthology of sci-fi short stories, and I would be very grateful to anybody who can help me find it.

Oh yeah, and another thing, the title had a bunch of "t's" and apostrophes in it, and I think that the title might have been something the aliens said a lot that turned out to be a core component of their philosophy.
