Honey and the fly-Short stories for children

Once there lived a young man in a small village. He collected a  jar of honey. He kept it on the table for eating. One day it was upset and the sticky sweetness flowed out on the table.

The sweet smell of the honey soon brought a large number of Flies buzzing around. They did not wait for an invitation. No, indeed; they settled right down. The Flies were quickly smeared from head to foot with honey. Their wings stuck together. They could not pull their feet out of the sticky mass and at last they died. They gave their lives for the sake of sweetness taste.

Moral: Don’t be greedy for a little passing pleasure, it may destroy you.
