295. The Bald Man And The Fly

A Fly bit the bare head of a Bald
Man, who, endeavouring to destroy it, gave himself a heavy slap. Then said the Fly mockingly, "You who have wished to revenge, even with death, the prick of a tiny insect, what will you do to yourself, who have added 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-favoured and contemptibleinsect, who delight in sucking human blood, I wish that I could ha
ve killed you, even if I had incurred a heavier penalty."
295. 秃头人和苍蝇
苍蝇叮着秃头人的头,秃头人想要扑杀它,反而害自己被重重打了一巴掌。 那苍蝇嘲笑着说:「你要报复小虫叮刺你的仇,甚至要杀掉它,反而自取其辱而受到伤害,你应该怎么自处呢?」 秃头人回答说:「我和我自己容易和解,我知道这并非有意受伤的。 但是你这丑恶卑鄙的小虫,喜欢噬人的血,所以我一定要杀你,虽然受了更重的惩罚,我也心甘情愿的。」
