The Spider and the Fly

While the fly can fly
And the spider can’t, 
How is it that the spider
Eventually has the better of the fly?

It's because of feelings of superiority. I love the metaphor, Ram, very much so. Our country has an expression for it, but it will take up too much space to type. But is IS because the 'fly' feels superior because he has wings.
