The Aesop's fable and the Maugham's story has two very different messages.In the Aesop's fable of the ant and the grasshopper,the industrious ant worked very hard through the summer and had all his food saved for winter but the grasshopper who never cared about his future ended up begging for food.So the ant's hard work was paid off in the end.While in the other story, Tom,who was an idle and irresponsible guy who barely did any good things in his life got lucky and was in a better position than his honest,industrious and much more worthy brother.
Classy classmates :)

The friendship Bond
#1 Social critics expect people to be dissatisfied with their friendship because of the high mobility rate and loss of community support among Americans.They believe that a huge numbers of people choose to live alone and they are mostly worried about their own selves rather than their friends.But in the questionnaire responses, most of the people disagreed with this idea and a very few numbers of people showed their dissatisfaction on friendship.
#2 The five qualities that people say were most important to them are loyalty, the ability to keep confidences,warmth,affection and supportiveness.Yes,i would look for the same qualities in my friend.
#3 Two most important reason for ending a friendship are feeling betrayed by a friend, and discovering that a friend had very different views on issues the respondent felt were important.I think having a different view or opinion can not be a strong enough reason to end a friendship.The first reason makes more sense because there is nothing worse than getting betrayed by a person you trust the most.
#4 The three activities that are most characteristic among friends are, ''had an intimate talk",helping out a friend and turning to a friend for help.Trust plays a very strong role in these activities.It motivates someone to share their innermost thoughts and feelings with the someone they trust.When a person is in trouble he always turns to a friend who is trustworthy.
#5 The first rule of friendship is that friends confide in each other,sharing intimate aspects of their personal lives and feelings.The second rules of friendship involve the right to ask for help
#6 The limit of friendship is that you can not always support what a friend does.
