The Bald Man and the Fly

in Fables

ImageA FLY bit the bare head of a Bald Man who, endeavoring to destroy it, gave himself a heavy slap.

Escaping, the Fly said mockingly, "You who have wished to revenge, even with death, the Prick of a tiny insect, see what you have done to yourself to add insult to injury?'  The Bald Man replied, "I can easily make peace with myself, because I know there was no intention to hurt. 

But you, an ill-favored and contemptible insect who delights in sucking human blood, I wish that I could have killed you even if I had incurred a heavier penalty."

“Revenge will hurt the avenger”
