The moral behind this story is that one should not make hasty decisions only to fulfill a pleasure or to be greedy about something. People should always analyze the options they are given and find out which is the best and safest path to take to achieve what they want. In this case, the oldest fly stopped to think twice, and this patience and wisdom saved its life.
