When King Solomon could learn wisdom from the ants, why not one learn wisdom from a mosquito? While stretching myself on my bed last night I observed a mosquito royally landing on my forearm. My impulsive reaction for self preservation prompted me to immediately hit and kill it. Was paranoid that the mosquito will curse me with Dengue or Malaria. The goodness in me allowed the mosquito to have its dinner of a few micro litres of my blood. I asked the mosquito “ You are very bad . You are after my blood for survival. But you are ungrateful to me by transmitting dreadful diseases to me. Are you not ashamed of your action?” The mosquito sarcastically replied “In what way you humans are better than us ?All of you are after the blood of your fellow human beings. You cheat, stab people on their back and murder them for your welfare. Please kindly reform yourselves before you speak ill of us.”I hung my head in shame and started introspecting on the wisdom the mosquito had offered me.
