The mosquito heard that the lion was the king of all beasts, and no animal could defeat it. It disdainfully said to the other animals, “What’s so great about the lion? I will challenge it right now. All of you come and watch, let’s see who wins! If I defeat the lion, I will replace it and become the king of all beasts!”
After speaking, the mosquito flew off to find the lion.
It said to the lion, “Don’t be fooled by your much larger size compared to me, you’re not my match at all!”
The lion laughed heartily and said, “I could crush you to pieces with just one finger, yet you boast so much. It shows your overestimation of yourself!”
The mosquito retorted, “Are you going to scratch me with your claws? Or bite me with your teeth? Those are the moves women use in fights with men.”
The lion, infuriated, roared, “Talk is cheap, if you have the guts, let’s settle this with action!”
Before the lion could finish speaking, the mosquito had already blown its trumpet and pounced towards the lion, targeting the hairless area around the lion’s nose.
The lion, infuriated, wildly swiped with its claws, only to end up scratching its own face and not catching the mosquito.
The mosquito flew away, blowing its trumpet happily, boasting to everyone it met, “I defeated the lion! I am the true king of all beasts!”
However, in an unfortunate turn of events, the mosquito accidentally flew into a spider’s web and got trapped. It watched as the spider approached, ready to devour it.
With a sigh, the mosquito said, “I defeated the mightiest king of all beasts, only to be defeated by a tiny spider…”
