A jar of honey was upset and the sticky sweetness flowed out on the table. The sweet smell of the honey soon brought a large number of Flies buzzing around. They did not wait for an invitation.

They could not pull their feet out of the sticky mass. And so they died, giving their lives for the sake of a taste of sweetness.
