The fly is said to be the most harmful animal in the world. By carrying
diseases and germs it causes much sickness and deaths. Attached to
the fly’s feet are pads that enable the fly to cling to a windowpane or
walk on the ceiling. Disease, germs and unclean matter are often
carried on these pads.

Flies hatch and feed in unclean places, such as manure piles. They also
feed in outdoor toilets, in open garbage cans and on decaying matter of
