Question

The ant tells the cricket to "dance the winter away". Do you think the word 'dance' is appropriate here? If so, why?

Answer 1

Yes, the word ‘dance away’ is quite appropriately used by the ant. Singing and dancing are merry-making activities, which should be done rarely, at important occasions. However, the cricket had wasted his entire summer and spring in singing. When he went to ants for help for the winter, the ant gave a very witty reply. She suggested him to spend the winter dancing as he had spent his spring and summer singing.

Answer 2

Answer:

The ant told the cricket to “dance the winter away” because when it asked the cricket what it did in the summers and why it had not stored any food for summers, the cricket answered that it sang through the warm and sunny months of summers.
