Summary of Poem - The Ant and the Cricket
This poem is attributed to the famous Greek poet Aesop and
tells the story of two main characters: a cricket and an ant.
During the summer and spring
seasons, the cricket is portrayed as
carefree, singing and dancing without
a care in the world. These seasons
offer plenty of greenery, food, and
water, making it unnecessary to store
anything for the future. The crickets are
busy enjoying themselves and neglect
the importance of preparing for the
future.

Summary - The Ant and the Cricket
In its desperate state, the cricket approaches the ant and
asks for food and shelter, promising to repay the favor. The
ant, in response, rebukes the cricket, questioning why it didn't
prepare during the abundant seasons of spring and summer.
The ant is unsympathetic and refuses to lend or borrow from
anyone. It chastises the cricket for its lack of foresight and
responsibility.
