The Gnat & the Bull

Once, a tiny gnat was flying around the meadow, making lots of buzzing noise despite its small size.

Eventually, it landed on the tip of one of the horns of a big bull.

After resting for a little while, the gnat prepared to fly away.

But before leaving, it apologized to the bull for using its horn as a resting place.

The gnat said, "I guess you're happy to see me go now, right?"

The bull replied, "It doesn't make any difference to me.

Honestly, I didn't even know you were there."

Sometimes we think we are really important, but others may not even notice us or care as much as we think they do.
