THE MOSQUITO AND THE EAR

Once upon a time, the ear was the most radiant beauty in the whole world. It was normal that every one wanted to marry her, the ear had become used to prospective grooms challenging themselves to a duel. She was just too beautiful, the poor, weak and small creatures knew to stay away, all except the mosquito. The mosquito had mad crush for her

And finally the day came when he would make his intention known to the ear but the ear felt insulted

EAR: how dare you? you who is the weakest of all creatures, how dare you even think about marrying me. Can't you see all these brave princes who have come to lay their lives for me? Do you honestly think i'll pick you over any one of them? You, whom i am sure would be dead within a week!

The suitors began to laugh at the mosquito, he was ashamed of himself-- he had humiliated himself

MOSQUITO: dead in a week, we'll see about that

Weeks went by and mosquito did not die, years went by and he was still alive. Now whenever mosquito sees the ear he approaches her and whispers

MOSQUITO: I'm still alive----
