Fly on the Wall

Sir William Hughes was a fly of noble birth; well at least he had been born into a big house. He lived with his sixteen siblings. He was the oldest, and for that reason he was in charge of distracting the Cook so that his younger siblings could land on what ever it was that was being made at the time. Because of this set up, Sir William Hughes did not often get much food. By the time the Cook realized that there were flies on his food he would swat at them and shoo them away. Sir William Hughes hardly ever got to the food in time... 

It just so happened that today was the Master of the House's birthday, and since it was a special day, the Cook was making a chocolate cake. Sir William Hughes liked chocolate cake, or he thought he did anyways – he was not really sure. However, he was determined that this time he would be the first one on the cake, and he would be the one eating while someone else distracted the Cook. He made up his mind and did not wait for any of his siblings. He flew down to the cake and immediately got stuck in the soft gooey chocolate. He did not mind very much; it tasted so wonderful. Before long, the Cook came by and, not seeing Sir William Hughes stuck in the cake, put the chocolate cake into the oven.
