The Gnat and the Bull

A GNAT¹ 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." 


Some men are of more consequence in their own eyes than in the
eyes of their neighbors.
