There was once a little mosquito(蚊子) who was very pleased with himself. One day, he showed his muscles and told the other mosquitoes how strong he was. They laughed at the little mosquito. They really wanted him to shut up.
The little mosquito said, "I'll show you! Look at the strong lion over there. I'll make him beg me to stop fighting him." After hearing these words, the other mosquitoes laughed louder than ever.
The little mosquito flew onto the lion's face and began biting his nose. There was no fur for protection on his nose. The lion beat his nose with his claws(爪子) to try to kill the little mosquito. But he failed. The more he scratched, the worse his nose got.
"Stop," roared the lion so loudly that all the other animals could hear him. "I give up. Go away. Leave me in peace."
The little mosquito was pleased with himself. He flew away proudly. He was so excited that he didn't know where he was going. Finally, he flew straight into a spider's web.
"You're not as strong as my web," said the spider. Then he began to gobble up the little mosquito.
