The Flea and the Man

A man, greatly annoyed by a flea, finally managed to catch the pesky creature. He exclaimed, "Who are you to dare feed on my limbs and cause me so much trouble in trying to catch you?"

The flea, trembling with fear, responded, "Oh, my dear sir, please spare my life! I beg you not to destroy me, for I am but a tiny creature and cannot possibly do you much harm."

The man, chuckling at the flea's pleas, replied, "Now you shall certainly die by my own hands. For I believe that no evil, whether small or large, should be tolerated."

With that, he made up his mind to end the flea's reign of irritation once and for all.
