    In the poem “The Ant and the Cricket”, the ant after listening to the cricket says that he (cricket) did not do any work when it was the appropriate. He could have made the best use of the spring and summer. However instead of caring about future, he simply kept singing and enjoying the spring season.

    Now that the time is gone, he is repenting. However there is no use of doing that because it (the ant) will not lend him any food or shelter. He should now bear the suffering now.

    The ant and the cricket are totally different from each other. The ant is wise. He works hard during the summer season. He collects food and makes shelter for himself so that he may be able to bear the harshness and famine of the winter.

    On the other hand, the cricket is a fool. He does not care about gathering food for himself not for shelter. Instead, he keeps singing and enjoying during the summer season. When the winters appear he has neither anything to eat not shelter to save himself from chilling cold.

    The cricket who kept enjoying during the summer season is in problem as it is winter now and he has neither anything to eat nor shelter to save itself from chilling cold. Hence he goes to the ant and requests him to lend him some food and shelter. He (the cricket) promises to return back him everything by the next day.

    Listening this, the ant says that the ants neither lend nor borrow anything from others and asks him what he was during the summer season.

    The cricket replies that he did not care about gathering food and making shelter from himself. Instead he kept singing and enjoying during the summer. The ant says that he kept enjoying during summer, he should do the same in the winters as well. Saying this he kicks the cricket out of his house.
