The Gnat and the Bull.A Gnat that had been buzzing about the head of a Bull, at lengthsettling himself down upon his horn, begged his pardon for incommodinghim; "but if," says he, "my weight at all inconveniences you, pray sayso, and I will be off in a moment." "Oh, never trouble your head aboutthat," says the Bull, "for 'tis all one to me whether you go or stay;and, to say the truth, I did not know you were there." The smaller the Mind the greater the Conceit. From Aesop's Fables |
