The Louse and the Bedbug - Panchatantra Stories in English | Moral Stories for Kids by Mocomi
https://mocomi.com/ presents: The Louse and the Bedbug Panchatantra Story in English
Once, there was a louse who lived in the bedroom of a mighty king. Every night, after the king had gone to sleep, she would come out of her hiding place and suck his blood. And then, she would quietly creep back and hide once again.
One night, a bedbug walked into the king’s bedroom. When the louse saw him, she told him to go away immediately as the whole of the bedroom was her territory. The bedbug replied, “I’m not doing any harm. I’m your guest. That is not the way you should treat your guests.”
On hearing this, the louse softened a little. She said, “Alright, you can stay here tonight. But you are not allowed to bite the king and suck his blood.”
“But, I am your guest after all! You will have to offer me some food.”
“Fine,” said the louse. “You can have some of the king’s blood. But be very careful. Bite him very softly so that he doesn’t feel any pain.”
After a while, the king came to his bedroom and lay down on his bed to sleep. The greedy bedbug bit the king hard to suck his blood. He liked the taste and kept on sucking until the king felt an itching sensation on his skin.
The king woke up and ordered his servants to look for the bedbug and kill him immediately. But the bedbug was clever and hid himself where he could not be found. When the king’s servants looked through the bed sheets carefully, they saw no trace of the bedbug but found the louse instead. They caught her before she could slip away and killed her immediately. In this way, the louse lost her life because of the bedbug.
That is why it is said that one should not trust strangers easily.
The videos you are watching from our Panchatantra series are inspired by the Gond style of art of India.
The Gond style of painting is a style of art practised by the Gond Adhivasi community in India. Pre-dominantly found in the state of Madhya Pradesh, the community also extends to the states of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Chattisgarh and Orissa.
The art style can be characterized by the use of lines, dots and spirals to impart a sense of movement and create texture. The subject matter of Gond paintings are colourful descriptions of flora, fauna, daily life and local deities.
