Once a fly was boasting to an ant.

“I eat whatever I want. I sit wherever I want. I taste God's offering before God. I can sit on the king's head. I can do whatever I want, but no one can do anything to me.”

The ant heard this and said.

"Tell me, what kind of magnanimity is there in going and eating wherever you want? Just as you sit on food, you also sit on dung on the road. It is always better to work hard like us to find food together, make honeycomb, and preserve food in it.”
