Flea And Cow



Flea And Cow

 One day, a flea asked a cow,

“What on earth did humans do to help you?

 I can’t believe that a big and strong animal like you works for humans everyday.

 Look at me.

 I munch humans’ meat and guzzle their blood. He-he.”

 Then the cow said,

“Actually, I appreciate humans.

 They always take good care of me and often stroke my head or back kindly.

 “Wow! Do you like to be stroked?

 If a human stroked me, I would be squashed and die!”


 Those who just bluff are likely to be talked down by someone who is not even smart.
