"The Ant and the Grasshopper," by W. Somerset Maugh "

I think Maugham's story is not full same from the message in the Aesop fable of the ant and the grasshopper.in the end of the story it was different then the Ant and the Grasshopper".
In the story Gorge Character was same like the Ant. He worked like the Ant.He always went to his office.He never took vacation for four weeks.what he got at last is he can have thirty thousand pounds by the time he is fifty.
His brother tom character was same like the Grasshopper.He didn't like to work. He didn't think about his future. He wanted to enjoy himself.therefore he left his wife,children and office.He did blackmail with his brother Jorge.But end of the story it was different then the Grasshopper. The Grasshopper didn't save anything for his future therefore he didn't get any thing when he was need food.As a result he had to die. But tom got married with an old rich woman.therefore he got rich after she die.As a result he got rich without hardworking.
