Legend of the Mosquito

Feeling sorry for the man, the crocodile told him he could get on his back and then they could search for the woman. In their search, the crocodile chased after any boat came across their path and asked if anyone had seen a beautiful young woman anywhere. After many detours, one boat told the young man and creature that the woman they had described just passed them. Hearing this, the crocodile swam after the boat as fast as he could.

When they arrived, both man and creature saw the young wife was in the rich man's boat.

The husband told the wife, "Wife, just jump to me... I cannot live without you... I will make you happy and we will live in luxury."

Yet the woman replied, "Go home without me. I have disappointed you. Please forgive me."

She then gave him a bag of gold telling him, "Take this bag and just think of me as already dead from that time ago."

Angry and disappointed, the young man threw the bag into the ocean and told the crocodile to take him to see Buddha. When Buddha met up with the two, he rushed the creature to chase after the rich man's boat so that the broken hearted man could ask for his three drops of blood back. After Buddha got done talking to the woman and made her prick her finger to give back the three drops of blood, she automatically fell down and died.

The rich man did not understand what was going so he panicked and threw the body into the ocean. Due to the blood miracle, the woman had been transformed into a mosquito. From then on, because of always lacking blood the mosquito has to search and steal a little bit from a person in order to live.

Hope you enjoyed the long story. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Have a good night everybody.
