The cricket says, “Oh!What will become of me?” When does he say it, and why?

Thecricket said the given line when it foundthat its cupboard was empty and winter had arrived. It could not finda single crumb to eat on the snow covered ground and there were noflowers or leaves on the tree. It wondered what would become of itbecause it was getting cold and since there was nothing to eat, itwould starve and die.
