The Gnat and the Bull

蚊子和公牛

A GNAT settled on the horn of a Bull, and sat there a long time. Just as he was about to fly off, he made a buzzing noise, and inquired of the Bull if he would like him to go. The Bull replied, "I did not know you had come, and I shall not miss you when you go away."

有只蚊子落到一只公牛的角上，停留了好久。要走的时候，他嗡嗡地边飞边问公牛是否愿意他离开。公牛回答说：“我不知道你什么时候来的，你走了以后，我也不会想念你。”
