Fair Dealing
• Short story from a collection not more than 10 pages

Mosquito
I was climbing up the sliding boardWhen suddenly I felt
A mosquito bite my bottomAnd it raised a big red welt.So I said to that mosquito,
“I’m sure you wouldn’t mindIf I took a pair of tweezers
And I tweezered your behind!
He shriveled up his bodyAnd he shuffled to his feet,
And he said, “I'm awfully sorry
But a skeeter's got to eat!
