"Go away!" grumbled the sleepy lion, smacking his own cheek in an attempt to drive the insect away. @|\@@ "Why should I? demanded the mosquito. "You're king of the - @@@@ jungle, not of the air! I'll fly wherever I want and land /7 @@@@ wherever I please." And so saying, he tickled the lion's / @@@@@@ ear. In the hope of crushing the insect, the \-' @@@@@@@@`-______________ lion boxed his own ears, but the mosquito -@@@@@@@@@ / \ slipped away from the now dazed lion. @/@@@@ / \ _______/ /_ _____| |__________- /,__________/ `-.___/,_____________----------_) "I don't feel it any more.

But at that very moment, \___XXX___/ the irritating buzz began again, __XXXXX__ and the mosquito flew into the lion's nose. /__XXXXX__\ Wild with rage, the lion leapt to his hind / XXX \ legs and started to rain punches on his own V nose. But the insect, safe inside, refused to budge. With a swollen nose and watery eyes, the lion gave a terrific sneeze, blasting the mosquito out. Angry at being dislodged so abruptly, the mosquito returned to the attack: BUZZ . . . BUZZZ! . . . it whizzed round the lion's head. - - - - - -- - - - - - _ - - - - - - - - =- - =- = - = - =- = _.----~~~~~~-----..__ = =- -=- - = = -=-- = =#-= =-# - == ##= -__..------~~~~- .._ ~~-. #== -#- = =- ##=-= =#- #===#==___.--.--~~~~ --~~~~---~ __ ~~----.__ ~~~~~~~---...._____#===## ##(~~~~_..----~ ~~--=< O >- .----. -< O >=--~~ .. .)#=#=## ###~-..__..-- .. ___-----_...__-----___ _. ~-=___..-~######## ##==#===#==` _ ..
