Once, a bed bug and his family lived on a king’s bed and sucked his blood as and when they pleased. They were living away happily. Once, a mosquito entered the king’s chamber. He was very happy to see the bed and thought, ‘It will be great to suck the blood from the king’s body.’ The bed bug heard this and came out to speak to the mosquito. The bed bug said, “How dare you to stay here? This is my territory.” The mosquito replied, “I am not here to stay. But please allow me to stay for night and suck some of the king’s blood.” The bug agreed. So, at night when the king was sleeping, the mosquito came near him and bit him. The king was disturbed and got angry. He ordered his servants to find the mosquito. The mosquito flew away. But the servants turned the bed upside down and found the bugs and killed them.
