One
afternoon, a Lion had just finished his meal and decided to take his
afternoon nap. The Lion had just closed his eyes, when a Gnat saw him.
Now,
this Gnat, though active and young, was also haughty and over-confident. He was
extremely daring and he attacked the Lion. The Lion was very angry and woke up
with a start. But the Gnat did not stop. He kept stinging the Lion’s nose, eyes
and ears. The Lion roared in pain. He tried to crush the Gnat but all his attempts
went in vain The Gnat had no pity on the poor beast.
At
last, the poor Lion la exhausted and bleeding on the ground. The Gnat,
extremely pleased on his victory over the King of the Forest, hovered
over the spot, praising himself and feeling joyful. His pleasure blinded him so
much, that while flying, he suddenly got stuck in a Spider-web. No matter how
much he tried, the Gnat could not escape.
Thus,
the Gnat who had defeated the mighty Lion became the prey of the Spider.
