The Ant and the Grasshopper.

In my opinion, I think that the message between Maugham’s story and Aesop Fable, of the Ant and the Grasshopper are different for the fallowing reasons.   First, in the Ant and the Grasshopper story, the Ant never gives the Grasshopper anything.   Second, in the Maugham’s story, George worked very hard because he wanted has money for his future. George has a brother who name is Tom.  Tom did not like to work and his brother had to give him money. Tom liked to get everything easily without any effort. The two stories have the same context but the end is very different becasue Tom became rich and the Grasshopper no.
