蚊子和狮子 The Mosquito and the Lion A mosquito went up to a lion and said, Everyone says you are the strongest animal in the world. Thats right, said the lion. I am big and strong, and I have sharp teeth. Well, Im not afraid of you, said the mosquito. I am going to fight you, and I am going to win! You could never win, laughed the lion. I am a thousand times stronger than you. Here I come! cried the mosquito, and he flew toward the lions face. The mosquito landed on the lions nose and bit him again and again. The lion tried to sink his teeth into the mosquito, but the mosquito was too small. I give up! said the lion. Please dont bite me anymore. I won! shouted the mosquito as he flew away. But he didnt look where he was going and he became trapped in a spiders web. How strange, thought the mosquito. I defeated a lion, but a tiny spider can defeat me.
