What are the two follies of the cricket in the poem "the ant and the cricket"
Answers
Answer:
The first folly of the Cricket is his non-futuristic behavior. He never stored anything for himself for the coming winters. He just enjoyed the present without thinking about the future. The second folly of the Cricket is that even after getting the warning by the ant of the coming winter, he didn't pay any attention towards it.
Explanation:
The fable "The Ant and the Cricket" is about an ant and cricket and about their views related to the future. The cricket enjoyed the summer by singing the songs. It did not think anything about the future or the coming of the winter. One the hand when the ant was busy collecting food and storing for the winters, the cricket was busy enjoying his good times in the summer season. He has no plans for his future. He spent his time in the present. When the winter came, the ant relaxed and ate the food it has stored while the cricket had nothing to eat. The idea of the poem is that we should think about the future and not just live in the present.
Answer:
In the poem "The Ant and The Cricket", the cricket does not think about the future, and he does not save food for the winter. He only lives in the present. The ant on the other hand works hard during the summer, to save food for the long winter and is ridiculed by the cricket. However, when winter comes, it is apparent how wise the ant is. He also tries to borrow food from the ant.
