Why Mosquitoes Buzz in People's Ears: A West African Tale FROM OUR EDITORS
Mosquito tells iguana such a preposterous tall tale that iguana puts sticks in his ears so he won't have to hear her nonsense. This causes a chain of events that upsets all the animals. When lion calls a council to solve the problem, the animals realize mosquito is at fault. To this day, mosquitoes whine in people's ears to ask if everyone is still angry.
