The poem is about a silly young Cricket who spent the summer singing and enjoying itself without preparing for winter. When winter came, the Cricket was hungry and asked the Ant for food and shelter. However, the Ant refused because it had been hardworking and saving food all summer rather than being idle. The Ant gave the Cricket the life lesson that one needs to set aside resources for difficult times rather than expecting help after failing to prepare.
