Do you think the message in Maugham's story is the same as or different from the message in the Aesop fable of the ant and the grasshopper? Explain.
according to the Maugham and Aesop fable stories, there is a huge differences between the two stories. In the Aesop Fable, the Grasshopper was lazy to do any-work, ignorant about life, and only care about the present time. but the ant in the other-side is hardworking, smart, and think how to live it's future. but in the end (by the winter time) the Ant lives relaxing and not caring about anything that will affect it's live. the Grasshopper did not end the same way. by the winter time it's life was horrible, and lack of hunger, and regretting itself. however, in Maugham story. Gorge and tom are brother. Tom is taking the Grasshopper place, and Gorge is taking the Ant place. But the different that Even though that Tom have all this characters, George is always suppurating him. however, Tom and up rich, and George End up loss and joules.
