The Bald Man And The Fly

THERE was once a Bald Man who sat down after work on a hot summer’s day.
A Fly came up and kept buzzing about his bald pate, and stinging him from time
to time. The Man aimed a blow at his little enemy, but—whack—his palm
came on his head instead; again the Fly tormented him, but this time the Man was
wiser and said:<br>
<p><p>&#147;YOU WILL ONLY INJURE YOURSELF IF YOU TAKE NOTICE OF DESPICABLE ENEMIES.&#148;
