The Miser and The Honeybee

One Summer day a bee buzzed into the counting house of a miser and sat upon his table.
And the miser, seeing the bee joked,
"You and I are very alike. I work busily all day making gold and so do you".
But the honey bee buzzed angrilly at the miser.
"The miser and the honeybee are nothing alike", it said, "For the gold that the honeybee makes gives sweetness to the world but the miser, because he hordes his gold selfishly, gives nothing".
