Answers
The poem ‘The Ant and The Cricket’ is a fable. A fable is a traditional story that teaches us a moral lessons. Usually the characters in fables are animals. This poem also teaches us a very important moral lessons of being industrious like an ant. It also teaches us we should not be like the cricket.
This poem is about a cricket (an insect), who found himself in trouble as the winter season arrived. He found he had nothing to eat; nor had he cared to make a shelter for himself.
He decided to go to an ant for help. He wished to borrow some grain from her and to spend a day or two in her hole during the rainy days. His intention was to pay her back later on.
However, the ant did not help the cricket. She told him without mincing words that it was rule of ants that they neither borrowed nor lent. She asked the cricket in astonishment if he had not saved anything for the winter. To which the cricket replied in negative. She asked him the reason. He replied he was so busy enjoying his life, he did not bother to save or put by anything. The ant taunted him to go and dance during the winter also.
In conclusion it can be said that we must be responsible for our future. We must not just spend our good times idly; we must also secure our future against the bad times also.
Moral : The moral of the poem 'the ant and the cricket' is that " if we enjoy today then we will surely suffer tomorrow" as in the poem the cricket just sung day and night in the summer but the ants did work day and night. So now, in the winter the cricket is dying of hunger.
