The Lion and the Mosquito
A lion grumbled and growled at a mosquito which kept flying around his head as he tried to take a
nap. “Go away before I crush you under my paw,” he roared.
“I’m not afraid of you,” teased the mosquito. “You may be called the King of the Beasts, but I am
more powerful than you are. I can prove it, too. Let’s fight and see who wins.” The lion agreed.
The mosquito quickly swooped down at the lion and bit him again and again on his nose and ears.
While trying to crush the mosquito, the lion clawed himself with his sharp nails, drawing blood. “Enough,”
he finally cried. “Enough! You win!”
Unharmed, the mosquito buzzed away. He boasted of his victory over the lion to anyone who would
listen. He was so busy boasting that he flew straight into a spider’s web strung between trees. As a tiny
