伊索寓言：蜜蜂與宙斯
The Bee and Jupiter
A BEE from Mount Hymettus, the queen of the hive, ascended to Olympus to present Jupiter some honey fresh from her combs. Jupiter, delighted with the offering of honey, promised to give whatever she should ask. She therefore besought him, saying, "Give me, I pray thee, a sting, that if any mortal shall approach to take my honey, I may kill him." Jupiter was much displeased, for he loved the race of man, but could not refuse the request because of his promise. He thus answered the Bee: "You shall have your request, but it will be at the peril of your own life. For if you use your sting, it shall remain in the wound you make, and then you will die from the loss of it."
Evil wishes, like chickens, come home to roost.
蜜蜂與宙斯
蜜蜂不愿把自己的蜂蜜給人類，便飛到宙斯面前，請求給他強大的力量，可以用針刺死那些接近蜂窩的人。宙斯對他的惡意十分氣憤，便使蜜蜂只要刺一回人，蜂針就斷了，自己也隨之死了。
這故事適用於不懷好意、自食惡果的人。
