　　The Mosquito buzzes around the Lions head.

　　Mosquito: Wake up, you big lazy Lion! ZzzZzz

　　Lion: Uh Who is it? Who is making all that noise?

　　Mosquito: Its me. Im a Mosquito.

　　Lion: A Mosquito? Stop bothering me and go away. Im sleeping.

　　Mosquito: I dont want to go away. I like it here. ZzzZzz

　　Lion: Im warning you. Go away before I get mad.

　　Mosquito: I dont care. I am not afraid of you.

　　Lion: What?Youre not afraid me, the king of Animals?

　　The Lion gets curious and slowly opens his eyes. The Mosquito is so small that the Lion cant easily see it.

　　Lion: Where are you? I cant see you. Are you hiding?

　　Mosquito: Of course not. Here I am. Im on top of your nose.

　　Lion: My nose? Oh, there you are. You are so small.

　　Mosquito: I may be small, but I am fast. I can also fly. Can you?

　　Lion: I cant fly. But Im the strongest of all of the animals.

　　Mosquito: Catch me then.

　　The Lion tries to catch the Mosquito, but fails.

　　Mosquito: You cant catch me. So I am stronger than you.

　　Lion: A litter insect like you? Ha! Ha! Ha! Thats nonsense.

　　Mosquito: Size is not important. You cant catch me. But I can chase you away.

　　Lion: You? Chase me away? Thats impossible.

　　Mosquito: I can do it. Do you want to make a bet?

　　Lion: Make a bet with you? Why not? But how will you chase me away?

　　Mosquito: Youll find out. If you run away from me, I win.

　　Lion: This is getting interesting. Okay. I accept your bet. But if I win,you better fly away from here.

　　Mosquito: Sure. Its a deal.

　　Lion: Ill give you ten minutes.

　　Mosquito: Okay. Before I begin, this is your last chance to give up.

　　Lion: Forget it!

　　Mosquito: Here I go then! ZzzZzz

　　The Mosquito flies around the Lion and bites the Lions nose. He doesnt fell anything.

　　Lion: Did you start yet?

　　Mosquito: Yes. Didnt you feel it? Didnt it hurt?

　　Lion: I didnt feel a thing. I told you. You are no match for me. Just go away and let me sleep.

　　Mosquito: No way! Youll feel something soon.

　　The Mosquito bites the Lions nose, ears, and paws. But it is no use. This time the Mosquito gets mad.

　　Lion: Uh Little Mosquito, its no use. Just give up.

　　Mosquito: Stay right here. Ill get my friends.

　　Lion: It still wont work.

　　Mosquito: Oh yeah! Well see about that.

　　The Mosquito asks his friends for help.

　　Mosquitos:ZzzZzzZzzZzz

　　Lion: Whats that noise? Oh my goodness! There are so many of them! Theyre coming at me!

　　More than a dozen Mosquitos attack the Lion at once.

　　Lion: Ouch, ouch! That stings. Stop! Stop! That hurts.

　　Mosquito: Keep attacking. Hell give up soon.

　　Lion: Stop it!

　　Mosquito: Go on!

　　Lion: I cant stand it anymore. It stings everywhere. I give up.

　　The Lion runs far away from the Mosquitos.

　　Mosquito: Look at him run! Ha, ha, ha.

　　The Mosquitos friends all go back home. The little Mosquito feels so good that he keeps flying around. He doesnt see the spider web just ahead.

　　Mosquito: What a day! I feel so good. But wait a minute. Whats this? I cant move. Im stuck!

　　Spider: Hello there, little Mosquito. I have been waiting for you. You will be my lunch today.

　　Mosquito: Im stuck in a SPIDER WEB!!! I just chased away a Lion, But I cant get away from a Spider. Boo-hoo-hoo.

　　Spider: Come here. Gulp!

　　MORAL

　　Always be humble.
