Hi to every little one reading!
:) This is the 3rd *illustrated* story antispoiler for little ones!
Only some little stories to make the little ones laugh at the funny
images and at the animals and bring smiles, throw the tears (rainbows!!)
and happiness, throw the pain...
A little story to remember the lilones that no one is REALLY powerful,
and no one can truly have power over someone else.
Take care!

THE LION AND THE MOSQUITO
Once upon a time . . . a tiny mosquito started to buzz round a lion he
met.
"Go away!" grumbled the sleepy lion, smacking his own cheek in an attempt to
drive the insect away.
@|\@@ "Why should I? demanded the mosquito. "You're king of
the
- @@@@ jungle, not of the air! I'll fly wherever I want and
land
/7 @@@@ wherever I please." And so saying, he tickled the
lion's
/ @@@@@@ ear. In the hope of crushing the insect,
the
\-' @@@@@@@@`-______________ lion boxed his own ears, but the
mosquito
-@@@@@@@@@ / \ slipped away from the now dazed
lion.

"I don't feel it any more. Either it's \ /
squashed or it's gone away, said the oVo
lion to himself." But at that very moment, \___XXX___/
the irritating buzz began again, __XXXXX__
and the mosquito flew into the lion's nose. /__XXXXX__\
Wild with rage, the lion leapt to his hind / XXX \
legs and started to rain punches on his own V
nose. But the insect, safe inside, refused
to budge. With a swollen nose and watery eyes, the lion gave a terrific
sneeze, blasting the mosquito out. Angry at being dislodged so abruptly,
the mosquito returned to the attack: BUZZ . . . BUZZZ! . . . it whizzed
round the lion's head.

triumphantly:
"There you are, King of the jungle! Foiled by a tiny mosquito like me!"
And highly delighted with his victory, off he buzzed.
But he did not notice a spider's web hanging close by, and soon he was
turning and twisting, trying to escape from the trap set by the spider.

And that's what became of the mosquito that foiled the lion!
