Once upon a time, in a quiet little town, there lived a bald man. One sunny day, as the bald man was resting in the park, a mischievous fly zoomed in and landed right on his shiny, bald head. It bit him so sharply that he instantly slapped his head to swat the fly away. But alas! The fly quickly flew away, and the bald man only ended up hitting himself hard. Irritated and annoyed, the Man aimed a blow at this little enemy again and again, but, in trying to hit the Fly, he continued to smack his own head instead, leaving him now stung by the Fly and injured by his own hand. This caused the bald man to grimace in pain, but the cunning fly was not done yet. It taunted the bald man, “You wanted to kill me for just a tiny bite. What will you do to yourself now that you’ve hit your own head?” The bald man, rubbing his aching head, replied with a wise smile, “For that little sting you gave me, I bear this pain. If I could, I would gladly endure even more to rid myself of nuisances like you.”
