Explanation:
The ant worked hard by collecting during the months of summer and spring (when the weather was warm) so that it would have sufficient food stored with it when the winters would be coming. Hence, the ant planned for the future and did work in a sincere way.
On the other hand, the cricket just sang during the warm, sunny months of gay summer and spring. Since he didn't collect any food when the weather was warm, it had no food to eat during the winter and hence he was forced to starve. Therefore, we can say that the cricket didn't plan anything for the future and just enjoyed the present.
