Why did the author chose a grasshopper and ant in La cigale et la fourni(The grasshopper and the ant)

5 answers

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.
I suppose because he observed ants always being busy, while grasshoppers are not.
Yes. Thank you
You're welcome.
