The Fly and The Bull

He decided to fly down to talk to himThe little fly flew down and buzzed around the bull’s head. The bull did not bother with him. He went on chewing grass. The fly then buzzed right inside the bull’s ear. The bull continued chewing grass.

Now the fly decided to land on one of the bull’s horns to make the bull notice him. He waited for the bull so say something, but the bull kept quiet.

The fly then shouted angrily, “Oh bull, if you find that I am too heavy for you, let me know and I’ll fly away!”

The bull laughed and said, “Little fly, I don’t care whether you stay or leave. You are so tiny that your weight does not make any difference to me, so please be quiet and leave me alone.
