A dung beetle once saw a bee bringing honey. And he asked this bee to take him as an assistant. The bee agreed. But when she saw that the dung beetle did not bring honey, she stung him and killed him.
Dying, the dung beetle said:
- Serves me right! I was rightly punished, because I shouldn’t have minded my own business. If I don't give honey, I shouldn't even go near the hive.
The moral of this story is clear: don't take on a job you can't be useful in.
