The Lion and the Gnat

A lion was very angry with a

gnat that kept flying and buzzing

around his head. The gnat would

not quit bothering the lion.

“Do you think that you, the great

king of all the animals, can make

me scared?” the gnat said to the

poor lion. The lion just kept trying

to hit the gnat with his big paw.

All he did was scratch himself

with his great claws. The gnat

laughed and flew between the

big paws and stung the lion on

the nose. He then buzzed away

laughing at how he had stung

the great lion. However, he was

so busy thinking of how he would

boast that he did not see the spider

web. He got stuck in the web of a

little spider and that was the

end of him.
