Aesop’s Fables: THE BALD MAN AND THE FLY
伊索寓言：蒼蠅和禿子
There was once a Bald Man who sat down after work on a hot summer’s day. A Fly came up and kept buzzing about his bald pate, and stinging him from time to time. The Man aimed a blow at his little enemy, but—whack—his palm came on his head instead; again the Fly tormented him, but this time the Man was wiser and said:
“You will only injure yourself if you take notice of despicable enemies.”

story is-you only injure yourself if you take notice of despicable enemies. The
fly was bothering the bald man. How could he get relief? He could ask another
person to swat it on the wall. Ignoring the fly would have worked.But
"ignorance is not bliss" as someone said. If the fly's irritating
actions became too much, as I've said, another person could swat it.That might
be the best choice.
