Sod his ma, said, "My son, go and drink the ||j||orijnan I s. blood," and he, like a good boy did ■M&T-te 1 drank lots of , poor men's blood, and got ||||aph fatter ; but at last he drank too much of" Illpe^Jast poor mane's blood and got too large. |||gUsttpoor man, whom be had nearly sucked dry, |||ftijmhjs hand aio'd killed that mosquito, and l^^^^as^a great splash of -blood on the wall young mosquito was killed. „
