The Singing Scoutmaster: Honey Pot

A number of flies were attracted to a jar of honey which had been overturned in a housekeeper's room, and placing their feet in it, ate greedily. Their feet, however, became so smeared with the honey that they could not use their wings, nor release themselves, and were trapped. Just as they were expiring, they exclaimed, "O foolish creatures that we are, for the sake of a little pleasure we have destroyed ourselves."

Pleasure bought with pains, hurts. Here are some small examples: playing in puddles and getting all wet on a cold-weather camping trip, eating a large quantity of powdered drink mix, staying up too late and then oversleeping and missing breakfast.
