THE BEE-KEEPER
A Thief found his way into an apiary when the Bee—keeper was away, then he stole all the honey. When the Keeper returned and found the hives empty, he was very upset and stood staring at them for a while. Then the bees came back from gathering honey, and found their hives overturned and the keeper standing by. They attacked him with their stings. At this moment, he fell into a passion and cried, “You ungrateful scoundrels and you let the thief who stole my honey get off scot—free, and then you go and sting me who have always taken such care of you!”
When you hit back make sure you have got the right man.
