The Fly and the Beehive

Searching for honey, a fly flew into a garden where there was a beehive, but the hive was closed. “I’ll pay a copper penny to anyone who lets me in!” shouted the fly. Someone let the fly into the hive, and she paid with a penny. But as soon as the fly was inside, her feet got stuck in the honey. As she flapped her wings, she became even more stuck. “Cruel tyranny! This is poison, not honey!” she cried. “I paid a penny to come in, but now I would pay ten pennies if I could just get out.”
