The ant and the cricket poem summary



The ant and the cricket poem summary

The poem is based on a fable of a diligent ant and a silly cricket. The cricket rejoiced all the day in singing and dancing. He didn’t care to save for the future. During the summer neither he stored food nor he built shelter. On the onset of winter he discovered his cupboard was empty. He also did not have shelter to save him from trembling cold. To survive, the cricket knocked at the door of the ant for help.
The ant became annoyed with the cricket and said that the cricket must be suffered for wrongdoing. Ants are industrious and never borrow or lend. The ant also asked the cricket to try merrymaking during the adverse times.
Moral: The poem conveys a significant moral. One should not be negligent about future while enjoy happy moments.
