A FLY bit the bare head of a Bald Man who, endeavoring to destroy it, gave himself a heavy slap. Escaping, the Fly said mockingly:
|
|
|
|
 |
 | |  |
| You who have wished to revenge, even with death, the Prick of a tiny insect, see what you have done to yourself to add insult to injury? | |
 | |  |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| I can easily make peace with myself, because I know there was no intention to hurt. | |
| | |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| | |
| But you, an ill-favored and contemptible insect who delights in sucking human blood, I wish that I could have killed you even if I had incurred a heavier penalty. | |
| | |
|
|
| | |
| You hurt my friend's feelings and I think you should apologize. | |
| | |
