One day,a dump fly tasted a bit of liquor left in a coconut shall. After that, he felt heavier and stronger than before. so he went back to the dump again. As soon as he landed on the dump, the dump heap was lowered a little. The fly thought,
"Look, I am so strong."
At this time, an elephant happened to pass by. The fly said,"My dear friend, have you come here for a fight? I am ready today." The elephant
walked over to the dump. He did not say a single word but just gave a big thump with its hoof and killed all the flies.
Taking intoxicant drinks and drugs will make us lose our senses like the fly. That is why the Buddha wanted us to refrain from using them.
