The poem, “The Spider and the Fly”, tells us that one shouldn’t believe in “idle, silly flattering words.” Such words will only make one miserable later on so it’s better to avoid it from the beginning. Flattery and false words means nothing so one shouldn’t give in to them fully as they are nothing but traps.
