Mosquito tells the Iguana something amazing. The Igauna doesn't believe him and puts sticks in his ears. Snake thinks Iguana is planning some mischief against him because he will not talk to him. Snake runs into rabbits hole and sacres rabbit away. Crow sees rabbit running and tells monkey that there is trouble. Monkey runs through the forest and slipped on a branch and kills a baby owl. Mother Owl is so sad she will not wake the sun in the morning. The King Lion gathers the Animal Jury. Mother Owl blames it on Monkey. Monkey blames it on Crow and so on. When it stops at the Mosquito the animals all yell, "Punish the Mosquito! Punish the Mosquito!" The Mosquito flees in fear. Now whenever Mosquito sees a person he buzzes in their ear and says, "Is everyone still mad at me?" He gets his answer. KPAO!
