- The story, The Mosquito and the Bug, is about a bedbug named Crawler who lives with her family in the sumptuous bed of a king. The bedbug family lives happily and comfortably, with plenty to eat. One day a mosquito flies in and starts playing on the bed. He is enjoying himself when he sees Crawler and asks her to whom the bed belongs. The mosquito says that he wishes to drink the blood of the bed's owner, as he is obviously wealthy and must eat only the best food. Crawler admonishes the mosquito that it must be careful with the biting. It may only bite when the king is deeply asleep from drink, and my only bite the foot. That night the king comes to bed, and the mosquito is not able to control himself. He immediately bites the king on the back, which causes the king to wake up violently. The bed is searched for the bug that bit the king, and Crawler and her family are found and killed. Meanwhile, the mosquito who caused the whole mess had flown away.
- Crawler trusts the mosquito when she shouldn't. She knows nothing about his character. She gives him information that puts her entire family at risk without having any evidence to suggest that the mosquito is worth the trusts she gives him. Such blind trust is utterly foolish. If she were the only one who might be hurt should things go wrong, that would be one thing. However, she didn't have the right to risk others.
- The mosquito was just a dick.
