Question

A silly young cricket, accustomed to sing through the warm, sunny months of gay summer and spring,

Began to complain when he found that,

At home,

His cupboard was empty, and winter was come.

not a crumb to be found

on the snow covered ground

not a flower could he see

not a leaf on a tree.

Oh! what will become, says the cricket, of me?

1. What does the expression ‘sunny months' mean?

2. Why is ‘not a crumb to be found'?

3. What does the last line of this stanza suggest?​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. sunny months suggests that the days are very warm and sun is radiating a lot of heat.

2. 'not a crumb to be found' means that there was no food at all in the cupboard.

3. the last line means that the cricket thinks of what would happen to him as there was no food at all in the cupboard and he would starve.
