Everything begins with the fact that IA Krylov draws before our eyes how the summer was replaced by a cold winter, the field died down, and cold and need arrived. The dragonfly did not prepare for this, she sang and froliced all summer. And now she’s not up to the songs, I want to eat and keep warm, but there’s nothing and nowhere. She asked the ant, who worked all summer to prepare for the winter. He answered the dragon with sarcasm, telling her that if she was singing, then let her dance.

insect heroes are chosen to ridicule human shortcomings. In the image of a dragonfly, the author shows that category of people who do not think about the future. They are lazy, and their way of life is idle. When hard times come, they try to save themselves with the help of someone else’s work. It is no accident that the author chose as one of the heroes such an insect as a dragonfly. After all, in the people of frivolous people often so called.
