Summary of The Ant and the Cricket

The poem ‘The Ant and The Cricket’ is a fable. A fable is a traditional
story that teaches us a moral lessons. Usually the characters in fables are
animals. This poem also teaches us a very important moral lessons of being
industrious like an ant. It also teaches us we should not be like the cricket.

This
poem is about a cricket (an insect), who found himself in trouble as the winter
season arrived. He found he had nothing to eat; nor had he cared to make a
shelter for himself.

He
decided to go to an ant for help. He wished to borrow some grain from her and to
spend a day or two in her hole during the rainy days. His intention was to pay her
back later on.

However,
the ant did not help the cricket. She told him without mincing words that it
was rule of ants that they neither borrowed nor lent. She asked the cricket in
astonishment if he had not saved anything for the winter. To which the cricket
replied in negative. She asked him the reason. He replied he was so busy
enjoying his life, he did not bother to save or put by anything. The ant taunted
him to go and dance during the winter also.

In
conclusion it can be said that we must be responsible for our future. We must
not just spend our good times idly; we must also secure our future against the
bad times also.
