This is a short, concise and thought-provoking story. The ants and the crickets are busy preparing food for the winter, while the other is taking advantage of the good weather. By the time winter comes, the outcome is self-evident. However, the language of the article is vivid and humorous, which makes people laugh while reading it.
Some details in the middle of the story are particularly worth recalling. "When the cricket saw the ants busy here and there, he said: 'Brother Ant, why are you so stupid? The weather is so nice, why don't you have some fun..." This cricket was confused and thought he was enjoying himself in time. He thought he didn't just know how to do it. Living fool! I think it will definitely run to the leaves, cut off the stems of the leaves, and sit on the swing. Float on the river and play rafting. The refreshing and cool water droplets make you forget everything. It drifted downstream, a strong wind blew, and it fell smoothly from the air back to its original place. I just can't get enough of playing like this again and again. When I get excited, I sing a song loudly. It feels so uncomfortable! How could it know what the ant was thinking at this moment?
What about ants? Looking at the cricket who only cared about the pleasure in front of him, he "sighed lightly and dragged the food dozens of times heavier than his own weight back home." The ant was worried about the cricket! I'm worried that it only thinks about having fun and does things without foresight. When winter comes, nature will teach it a lesson. At the end of the story, "The cricket lowered his head in shame" is very euphemistic. As you can imagine, it was snowing heavily and the north wind was blowing. The snowflakes fell on the hungry cricket. It was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the ice and snow. It was already extremely thin, dying, and shivering. I wonder if it can escape this disaster! I really deplore its fate, feel angry about its inability to fight, and feel sorry for its misfortune!
This fable reminds people that people who have no long-term worries must worry about the near future. In fact, throughout the ages, many facts have proven that this is a truth. In order to eliminate dissident forces, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty and Qin Hui murdered Yue Fei and dismissed Han Shizhong from office. They only wanted temporary stability, making the Jin army invincible and the court crumbling. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi spent a lot of money to build the Summer Palace, a palace garden, just to enjoy timely entertainment, which led to the financial weakness of the Qing Dynasty. Unable to support the Beiyang Navy to increase its foreign troops, the disastrous defeat in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894 was a great shame and humiliation. On the contrary, only by being prepared for danger in times of peace can we be prepared. Looking at the vicissitudes of the small fishing village in Shenzhen, we can understand Deng Xiaoping’s outstanding foresight in those days, which will lead to the glorious achievements of 30 years of reform and opening up; looking at the superpower United States’ battle to attract high-tech talents from all over the world, we can understand the global vision and talents of developed countries. Currently, heads of state around the world are making suggestions for global warming. Our pupils are filled with green. We have gradually gained a far-sighted perspective on environmental issues. We will not wait until we can no longer see the sun, moon and stars, acid rain is everywhere in our eyes, the waves are surging under our feet, exhaust gas blows into our faces, and diseases roam freely. "When all traces of people are gone", should I regret it at the beginning?
I think this cricket may also want to live in its own simple and clean house, taste the food stored in the summer, and sing a song "About Winter". But it doesn't work as steadily as an ant. So if you have a vision, you must act step by step.
After reading this fable, reflect on yourself. I proudly believe that I am lucky to be an ant and am not as confused as a cricket when it comes to studying, exercising, and managing finances. But I am also a "lazy" ant. When I work hard, I will also envy the "cricket" for his timely enjoyment, leisure and contentment, and indolence in work. Thinking of this, I also lowered my head in shame...
