The Fly and the Cricket

Long Legged Fly - Condylostylus

The fly puts on a new dress and goes out. She meets a jackal.

The jackal says: “What a nice dress! Where are you off to, Fly?”

The fly says: “I want to meet somebody. I want to marry.”

“Then marry me!” says the jackal.

The fly says: “First, you must sing to me!”


The jackal begins to sing. He sings as well as he can. But the fly does not like it.

She says: “No, Jackal, I do not like your voice! I do not want to marry you.”

Then she meets a dog. The dog says: “What a nice dress! Where are you off to, Fly?”

The fly says: “I want to meet somebody. I want to marry.”

“Then marry me,” says the dog.

The fly says: “First, you must sing to me!”

The dog begins to sing. He sings as well as he can. But the fly does not like it.

She says: “No, Dog, I do not like your voice! I do not want to marry you."

The New Lubber... Eye to eye

Then she meets a cricket. The cricket says: “What a nice dress! Where are you off to, Fly?”

The fly says: “I want to meet somebody. I want to marry.”

“Then marry me,” says the cricket.

The fly says: “First, you must sing to me!” The cricket sings as well as he can and the fly likes it.

She says: “You sing very well, Cricket.” And she marries the cricket.

But now crickets do not sing very well. And flies do not marry them now.
