Members-onlyThe Flies & The Honey

A jar of honey tipped over, and its sticky sweetness flowed out onto the table.

The sweet aroma soon attracted a large number of flies. They did not wait for an invitation—no, indeed! They settled right on the honey, eager to gorge themselves.

But the more they ate, the more they became covered in the sticky sweetness. Their wings and feet stuck fast, and they could not free themselves. One by one, the flies perished, trapped by the very treat they craved.

Moral: Do not be greedy for fleeting pleasures; a moment’s indulgence may lead to your downfall.
