寓言故事|The Gnat and the Bull

来源:www.dazhixue.com 2024-03-20
A GNAT1 settled on the horn of a Bull, and sat there a long time.
Just as he was about to fly off, he made a buzzing noise, and
inquired of the Bull if he would like him to go. The Bull
replied, I did not know you had come, and I shall not miss you
when you go away.

Some men are of more consequence in their own eyes than in the
eyes of their neighbors.
