The cricket in the poem The Ant and the Cricket was a silly insect. He wasted his entire summer and spring in fun and frolic. He did not work hard and save anything for the winter. He was in trouble when 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. (fast plz) ​
