The Flies and the Honey Pot

There was a potful of honey in the kitchen. The flies lingered over the sweet smell every time they

passed by the honey pot. They always dreamed of entering the honey pot and enjoying the honey

to their hearts' content.

Their dreams came true one day when a butler tipped over the pot and the honey spilt all

over the floor. Soon, the sweet smell attracted a swarm of flies. They set their feet in the honey and

enjoyed the feast.

When they were stuffed with honey and wanted to leave, their feet were stuck, making

them unable to move.

One of the dying flies cried, ''How silly we are to sacrifice our lives for short-lived

pleasure.

MORAL:
We should be aware of the risks we take while satisfying our desire for certain pleasures.
