The Fly and the Bee
A male fly is munching on a big, sweet bread when a bee arrives...
The fly was scared of the bee's size and so he immediately left the bread on the ground.
The bee laughed so loud because the fly left the bread. The bee followed the fly and asked, "Why did you leave your bread?"
The fly quivered, " You can have all the bread if you want to... just don't hurt me!"
The bee explained, "I am a drone. I don't have a sting and I will not hurt you."
"Really??!!!" the fly exhaled.
"I only want some bread of yours that's why I followed you, and asking you now if you can share your bread with me?"
The fly and the bee flew back and shared the bread together.
"Why are you here?" asked the fly.
"It's winter and all male bees are kicked out. The hive where I used to stay in is dominated by female bees."
The bee asked the fly, "Where do you live?"
"I live anywhere... everywhere." the fly replied.
"Wow, we're both homeless!" blurted the bee.
"No, we are not. Being homeless is only in the state of mind. Being home is being with your true self."
