When I finished read this story, I think the message in Maugham’s story is different as the Aesop fable of the ant and the grasshopper. They are talking about the same thing but different characters. Tom likes grasshopper, he likes to enjoy life but doesn’t want to pay anytime. And George likes ant hard work for good life. Actually, I like the person who likes George to get anytime by his self. But in the ending, they are different George work hard but he doesn’t have good life, and Tom get a much better life than George. So I agree with George's behaviour, even he doesn't have a decent job, but he lives not very bad. And Tom, maybe he will happy now because he got alot money from someone else but he just know how to spend the money to enjoy the life. So when he finish up his money, he will not have ability to run on his life.
