The Flea and the Man


A Flea bit a Man as he lay in bed. The Man tried to catch it, but the Flea escaped.

The Flea said, “Why are you angry at something so small? I just wanted a tiny bit of your skin!”

The Man replied, “I wouldn’t care how small you were—no one likes being hurt, even by something tiny.”

Moral: Even small harm can cause great annoyance.
