🔊 A Flea bit a Man, and bit him again and again, till he could stand it no longer, but made a thorough search for it, and at last succeeded in catching it. Holding it between his finger and thumb, he said, "Who are you, pray, you wretched little creature, that you make so free with my person?" The Flea, terrified, whimpered in a weak little voice, "Oh, sir! pray let me go; don't kill me! I am such a little thing that I can't do you much harm." But the Man laughed and said, "I am going to kill you now, at once: whatever is bad has got to be destroyed, no matter how slight the harm it does."

一只跳蚤咬了人,频频叮咬,直到他无法忍受,于是仔细搜寻,终于抓住了它。他用拇指和食指捏着它,说道:“你究竟是何物,你这可恶的小东西,竟敢如此放肆地叮咬我？”跳蚤惊恐万分,用微弱的声音呜咽道:“哦,先生！饶了我吧,别杀我！我这么个小东西,害不了你多少的。”但人笑了,说:“我即刻便要取你性命:但凡恶物,无论其为害多微,皆须除之。”
