Once a farmer saw a huge honey comb at the top of the tree. He thought of getting the honey from the comb and take it for his house-hold purposes. So the farmer tried his level best and procured honey from the honey-comb by smoking away all the bees of the comb.
He put the honey in a mud pot and took it to his house. To his bad luck the pot fell from his hands and it was broken. All the honey spitted on the ground.
As the honey was so sticky, it would not leave the spot where it was spit. So the farmer finding it difficult to recover the honey, went away disappointed by cursing him a lot.
Just then a swarm of flies came there. As they smell the flavour of the honey, they were very much attracted to it. Without having the knowledge that the honey would catch them badly they all sat on the sticky honey.
Having had their fill, they tried to fly away. But the honey did not let them to be free at all. Their feet and wings had got fast struck to it. All the flies began to cry and they all tried to free their legs and wings by lifting each other but all their efforts ended in failure.
One of the flies cried "How stupid of us. For a short time of pleasure, we have to die an untimely death". But it was too late that all the flies died one by one within a short period.
