Never think that everyone that Applauds you likes you! There was once a mosquito whos ambition was like no other mosquito. He dreamt of becoming something more than the short irrelevant life all of his family lived.. One day he began practicing to sing, to his surprise, he had a wonderful voice..... He kept singing daily until he thought he was ready to perform for a large audience. One night, he got himself ready and left home with the intention of finding the biggest gathering to show off his new skills. Mosquito found a large gathering at n open air event and decide this was his opportunity to shine! As he began to sing to the ppl, they started clapping, he felt such n adrenalin rush that he decided to serenade everyone individually. Everyone he sang to, clapped like they were really impressed with him, he felt so good about himself that he left for home to share his experience with his dad! Daddy daddy, I sang to a crowd of ppl and they were very impressed with me, they clapped at my singing from the time I started till I was ready to leave!!!! His father having more wisdom said, NO SON, these ppl were not applauding u, they were trying to kill u!!!! The little mosquito suddenly remember how many times he almost ended up between their hands n realize that his dad was right, they were not applauding, they were trying to take his life! The old ppl use to say, not every grin is a smile, always remember when u are reaching for the sky, their will be more ppl trying to pull u back down than those who will lift u up! Be very very careful who u share your dreams with, some may try to steal it, discourage u, or even kill it by other means!! story inspired by @Stephen Bernard;) Ruth Rea Augustine
