A number of Flies were attracted to a jar of
honey which had been overturned in a housekeeper's room, and placing their feet
in it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the honey that
they could not use their wings, nor release themselves, and were suffocated.
Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed, "O foolish creatures that we
are, for the sake of a little pleasure we have destroyed ourselves."
Pleasure bought with pains, hurts.
Pleasure bought with pains, hurts.
