Long, long, time ago, all the animals could talk.

Mother Mosquito and Baby Mosquito lived in a house.

Mother Mosquito always left Baby Mosquito at home when she went to search for food.

One day, after Mother left the house, Baby Mosquito wanted to go outside.

When Mother Mosquito came back later, she found that her child had gone out.

Mother Mosquito was worried. Baby Mosquito was out all alone.

But just then, Baby Mosquito returned home.

Baby Mosquito was very excited.

"Mummy, the humans were happy to see me. They clapped their hands every time I flew past!"

Mother Mosquito was alarmed.

"You say that people were happy and clapping their hands for you?" she asked her child.

"They were not happy to see you. They were trying to squash you!" explained Mother.

"Humans are never happy to see mosquitoes," she warned.
