The Flies



The Flies

 There was some honey spilled on the floor.

 Then some flies flew there and licked the honey.

 It tasted so good that they couldn’t stop licking.

 While enjoying the honey, their legs were stuck to the honey they couldn’t fly.

 The more they struggled, the more honey stuck to their bodies and they finally couldn’t breathe.

 The flies said,

“It’s so pathetic that they died for a pleasure time.”


 Thus, being a big eater might be a cause of unhappiness.

 You shouldn’t eat or drink too much.
