A MAN, very much annoyed with a Flea1, caught him at last, and

　　said, "Who are you who dare to feed on my limbs, and to cost me

　　so much trouble in catching2 you?' The Flea replied, "O my dear

　　sir, pray spare my life, and destroy me not, for I cannot

　　possibly do you much harm." The Man, laughing, replied, "Now you

　　shall certainly die by mine own hands, for no evil, whether it be

　　small or large, ought to be tolerated."
