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?' The Bald Man replied, "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."
Revenge will hurt the
avenger.
