The Lion and the Gnat.

As a Gnat was buzzing around a Lion, the Lion said to him: "How dare youapproach so near? Be off, or I will kill you with the least stroke ofmy paw." The Gnat, knowing the advantage of his small size, and hisalertness, immediately challenged the boaster to combat, and alightingfirst upon his nose and then upon his tail, made the Lion so furiousthat he injured himself grievously with his paws. As the Gnat flew awayhe boasted of his own prowess in thus defeating the King of Beastswithout the slightest injury to himself. But, in his carelessness, heflew directly into a spider's web, and the spider instantly seized andkilled him.
