A louse named Mandrisarpini had camped in the bedroom of a king.
Every night, when the king would go, she would secretly come out, suck the king's blood and then hide in her place. Coincidentally, one day a bed bug named Agnimukh also arrived in the king's bedroom.
When the louse saw him, he asked him to leave from there. He did not tolerate anyone else's interference in his domain.
But the bed bug was no less clever.
Say, "Look, this is not how you treat a guest, I am your guest tonight."
The louse finally fell for the bed bug's smooth talk and gave him shelter and said, "Okay, you can stay here the whole night, but you will not bite the king to suck his blood."
The bed bug said, "But I am yours.
You are a guest, please give me something to eat.
And what can be a better food than the king's blood?'' ''Okay.''
The louse said, ''You quietly suck the king's blood, he should not feel any pain.''
''It will happen exactly as you say.'' Saying this, the bed bug started waiting for the king to come in the bedroom. When night fell, the king came there and fell on the bed and slept...Seeing him, the bed bug forgot everything and started biting the king to suck his blood. This was the first time he had tasted such delicious blood, so he bit the king forcefully and started sucking his blood. Due to this, the king started feeling severe itching in his body and he lost his sleep.
In anger, he asked his servants to find and kill the bedbugs.
Hearing this, the clever bed bug hid under the foot of the bed, but the louse sitting on the corner of the sheet came into the sight of the king's servants. They caught him and killed.
Moral: Never trust strangers.
