The Gnat and the Bull

A gnat settled on the horn of a bull and sat there for a long time. Just as he was about to fly off, he made a buzzing noise and inquired of the bull if he would like him to leave.

The bull replied, "I did not even notice that you had come, and I certainly will not miss you when you go away."

This story illustrates that some individuals consider themselves to be of great importance, while in reality, they may not hold the same significance in the eyes of those around them.
