One fine evening, in the village of Fairyland, a lion was calmly resting in his den. Suddenly, he heard a knock outside. He went to open it when suddenly a mosquito flew inside! He HATED mosquitoes. They were noisy, irritating and most of all, they were a PEST. So he did what any Lion would do and chased after the mosquito. After a series of failed attempts, the lion began to rest. Sadly, the poor mosquito landed on Lion’s meat. The lion was now furious! He did not want any bug in his den, and he certainly did NOT want one touching his exquisite meat! Filled with anger and fury, he chased after the mosquito. Unfortunately, the mosquito had been caught.
“Oh no! Don't eat me, Mr. Lion. I will prove very helpful for you in the future!” The lion guffawed. “You? Help me? A majestic LION! What can a pest like you, do for me!” roared the lion. “I know it may not seem like much, Mr. Lion, but just you wait. I will prove myself useful.” The Lion was still skeptical but wanted to see how such a small mosquito could help him, so he let it go. A couple of days later, the lion was roaming the forest, looking at the lush green trees and crystal clear lakes, when a couple of hunters walked by. Coincidentally, the mosquito was also roaming there. The mosquito had a bad feeling, and his instincts were always right, so he went over to the hunters to hear what they were discussing. The mosquito couldn't believe his ears! They were going to shoot the Lion!! He quickly ran over to the lion, but he didn't see him! He was too small.
Aggravated, the mosquito didn't know what to do but to attack the hunters! He flew over there as fast as he could, and began buzzing and fighting the hunters, as quick as he could! He thought this was enough, but the hunters were still talking about the lion! What could he do! He hurriedly called all of his mosquito friends and quickly, they all worked together and made a swarm of mosquitoes, that would harm the hunters. The Lion now noticed and ran away to his own den.
A few days passed, and the mosquito returned. The Lion said, “Thank you, my friend! Thank you. I have underestimated you.” The mosquito replied, “Your welcome, Mr. Lion. I shall always be grateful to you.” Both the Lion and the mosquito learned very important lessons that day. The lion learned not to judge animals that were far inferior to him, and the mosquito learned that even the smallest of animals could be friends with the biggest of them all.
THE END
