Why frogs and mosquitoes are enemies story
A long time
ago, there was an old crab who liked to sleep. But there were some frogs
living nearby who made a loud noise. They kept him awake at night.
One night, the
crab became very angry. “Don’t make so much noise!” he shouted.
“we can’t help
it,” said the king of the frogs. “We’re talking about our friend the turtle.”
“What’s wrong
with the turtle?”
“Don’t you
know?” asked the king of the frogs. “he carries his house on his back.”
The crab then
asked the turtle, “Why do you carry your house on your back?”
“Because I’m
afraid the firefly will set light to it,” answered the turtle.
The crab then
asked the firefly, “Why do you want to set fire to the poor turtle’s house?”
“Because the
fire will keep away the mosquitoes,: said the firefly.
“And why do
you want to give so much trouble to the firefly?” the crab asked the mosquito.
“I don’t,”
replied the mosquito. At the same time, the mosquito bit the king of the frogs
who had first spoken to the crab.
He jumped at
least six inches in the air. “Ooch!” he cried. “Don’t bite me! It’s painful!”
But the
mosquito dived at him again. He was very angry.
The king of
the frogs stuck out his tongue and caught him. That was the end of the
mosquito.
Since then,
frogs and mosquitoes have been enemies. Even now, mosquitoes always chase frogs
and bite them whenever they have the chance.
