Plz help in English HW chap 1 ant and cricket . plz fast
Thanks
Dear student,
The cricket was a happy-go-lucky character who believed in singing and dancing rather than working. He just whiled his time away instead of collecting food for the harsh winters. He did not plan ahead or save for the rainy day. The ant was in sharp contrast to the cricket: it was a hard-working and diligent being who planned well for the winters by collecting enough food to last through the harsh weather. The ant also had a policy of being self-reliant and neither borrow, nor lend.
Some difficult words and their meanings:
accustomed-usual, habitual
crumb- a small fragment of food, a morsel
miserly- mean, parsimonious
famine- extreme scarcity of food
hastily- hurriedly
Regards
