Sort Answer: The word "cricket" might refer to an insect or to a sport.

Explanation

An ambiguous sentence is a series of words that can express two different ideas based on the context that is applied to it. According to the above, the sentence "I could not sleep because of the cricket" is an ambiguous sentence because it can have two interpretations depending on the context. One interpretation is that it refers to the fact the speaker could not sleep because of the sound of the animal "cricket" and another interpretation is that he could not sleep because he was watching a cricket game (sport).

With him there was his son, a younge SQUIRE,

A lover, and a lusty bacheler,

With lockes cruller as they were laid in press.  

40Of twenty year of age he was I guess.

Of his stature he was of even length,

And wonderly deliver, and great of strength.  

And he had been some time in chevachie,  

In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardie,

45And borne him well, as of so little space,  

In hope to standen in his lady's grace.

Embroider'd was he, as it were a mead

All full of freshe flowers, white and red.

Singing he was, or fluting all the day;

50He was as fresh as is the month of May.

Short was his gown, with sleeves long and wide.

Well could he sit on horse, and faire ride.

He coulde songes make, and well indite,

Joust, and eke dance, and well pourtray and write.

55So hot he loved, that by nightertale  

He slept no more than doth the nightingale.

Courteous he was, lowly, and serviceable,

And carv'd before his father at the table.
