Asked by Rose

Why did the author chose a grasshopper and ant in La cigale et la fourni(The grasshopper and the ant)
Answered by Ms. Sue
It is peculiar. The fable states that the ant stores up food for the winter, and the grasshopper does not.

However, grasshoppers live about a year, while ants live two months or less.

Perhaps Aesop did not really know about grasshoppers and ants.

Ok. Yeah i wasn't sure why he would choose a grasshopper and an ant.
Answered by Ms. Sue
I suppose because he observed ants always being busy, while grasshoppers are not.
