A white flea lived between the silky sheets of a king. It fed on the king’s blood without anyone noticing and was very happy. One day, a bug came by and expressed its desired to taste the king’s blood.
The flea was uncomfortable with the idea as the bug’s sting can be painful and that could expose its presence to the king.
On the bug’s insistence, the flea agreed that it can taste the king’s blood but had to wait until after he went to sleep. The bug agreed but couldn’t control itself.
It bit the king as soon as he sat on the bed. The king was furious and asked the guards to check his bed for bugs. The bug quickly hid while the white flea got caught and killed.
Moral: Do not trust the words of strangers, for they could just be false promises.
