THE STORY OF MOSQUITO LONG-NOSE AND FUZZY BEAR, MISHKA SHORT-TAIL
I
IT happened at noon, when all the mosquitoes hid in the marsh to escape the heat.
Mr. Long-Nose settled under a leaf and fell asleep. His sleep was disturbed by a despairing shout.
"Wow! Wow! Help! Help!"
Mosquito Long-Nose jumped out from under the leaf and called:
"What happened? Why are you screaming?"
A whole swarm of mosquitoes flew about, buzzed and shrieked—apparently for no reason at all.
