Question

Find in the poem the lines that mean the same as "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" (Shakespeare).

Answer 1

The cricket said the given line when it found that its cupboard was empty and winter had arrived. It could not find a single crumb to

eat on the snow covered ground and there were no flowers or leaves on the tree. It wondered what would become of it because it

was getting cold and since there was nothing to eat, it would starve and die.
