The Maugham’s story and the Aesop fable of the ant and the grasshopper are same. These two stories are both talking about the personality between different people. In Maugham’s story, the George is like the ant hard working. But the Tom is opposite, he is lazy and he just like to have fun isn’t like to work. In this way tom is like the grasshopper. So, I think these two stories are almost same. The Ant and grasshopper are metaphor to George and Tom.
