Lice does make the most sense, though. Fleas are really too bothersome to "keep", and other parasites may well kill their host, making "keeping" them problematic.

Fleas don't remain on people, lice do.

"Riddles"

Bonus Riddle 7. "This next riddle is best known for its apocryphal involvement with the death of the Greek poet Homer, described by philosophers of the time as “the wisest of the Greeks.” Homer had traveled to the island of Ios, which an oracle had warned him would be the place of his death (the Greeks never listened to prophecies involving their own deaths). During his travels around the island, Homer came upon some fishermen. He asked them how their day was going and they responded with this riddle: “What we caught, we threw away; what we didn’t catch, we kept. What did we keep?” Unable to solve the riddle, Homer eventually died on the island, refusing to leave until he discovered the answer."

"Unable to solve the riddle, Homer eventually died on the island, refusing to leave until he discovered the answer.
