Abstract

This poor housefly doesn’t seem to understand why nobody likes him. First, the boy in the story tries to swat him just for wanting some of his breakfast. Then, even animals can’t seem to get along with him—cows are annoyed with him, frogs try to eat him, and birds try to catch him. When the fly returns home for another meal, the boy yet again flaps his swatter with the hopes of swatting the poor fly.
