Long time ago, there lived a hardworking bee. Whole day long it toiled flitting from flower to flower to collect nectar. It would then make honey with it in its hive.
“I’m always worried that someone may steal my honey,” thought the bee. So the bee flew to the god Jupiter. ” O Jupiter, I have brought some honey for you,” said the bee.
“Thank you, little bee. I shall grant you a wish in return.” said jupiter.
“Grant me, O Jupiter, a sting. If anyone tries to steal my honey, I may kill him with my sting.” said the bee.
Jupiter was shocked to hear this. “I shall grant you your wish, little bee,” said indignant Jupiter, “but when you sting someone, it will not just kill that person, it will kill you as well.”
Moral: If you wish bad for others, it brings a curse to yourself as well.
