Fable of the Fleas Ends With Self Reliance Moral
An old parable about two fleas who marry and thrive on a dog’s comforts until social and political complaints rise among the fleas. They threaten to sue the dog and some perish while others wander seeking aid. The moral warns against relying on society or government for security and urges self reliance and thrift.
