the Purpose of Class, let us all remain seated and enjoy the
the Lesson short video story that I will present which is
the story of The Conceited Cow.
Once upon a time there was an
extremely large cow and a very small
mosquito. The cow was very proud of her
size, and she felt very beautiful. One day, the
mosquito heard the cow say: “It would be
very difficult to find another animal bigger or
more beautiful than myself.” Then the
mosquito sat on her back and he said, “Don’t
pressure so much, dear cow, there is always
somebody bigger and more beautiful than
you.” The cow laughed and she exclaimed,
“You are an insignificant animal!” The
mosquito didn’t say anything, but he took out
his stinger, and he started to sting her. Then
the cow started to move her tail with all her
strength at the mosquito because she felt
pain. After swatting at the mosquito very
hard, many times, the cow was very sore. She
tried so hard to stop the mosquito from
stinging her that she hurt herself. She had
bruises on her body and she asked him to “We should not be arrogant

sting you?” “Please no! No, I think that is
enough today!” exclaimed the cow. “I hope
 that you learned that you never call animal
unimportant again,” repeated the mosquito.
From that day, the cow let the mosquito stay
on her back.
