A Kind Zika Culicidae & Kid!

One day a kid was sleeping in a cradle, there came a Zika Culicidae which flew near the kid’s ear.  The annoying buzz which woke up the kid! The innocent kid smiled at the species with warmth. Kid was not aware that the species is going to bite, suck the blood and spread the disease. After seeing the smiling innocent kid, the Zika Culicidae felt bad to trouble the kid and spoke to the kid:

Zika Culicidae: I’m going to bite you!

Kid: why do you want to bite me???

Zika Culicidae: to feed myself and spread disease to you!

Kid: why do want to spread disease to me?

Zika Culicidae: The cleanliness environment is missing at your house and nearby areas.

Kid: it will be hurting for my beloved parents, if I’m not feeling well and I will be keep on weeping the whole night and day!

Zika Culicidae: oh! Is it so?

Kid: Then, how parents will be happy if their kids aren’t well?

Zika Culicidae: oh! Last year your sister was having malaria right?

Kid: yeah, she was very much worried and my parents too!

Zika Culicidae: last month you had diarrhoea right?

Kid: hmm… I couldn’t bear that, it was very painful! Doctor gave medicines and injections to cure it! Do you know how painful it was, during injecting?

Zika Culicidae: I don’t know! Hmm…

Kid: it’s very painful! If I’m not feeling well mom don’t allow me to play, even she doesn’t allow me to eat what I love to eat!....

Zika Culicidae: is it so?

Kid: yeah! I want to know that why you want to spread disease?

Zika Culicidae: we are rewarding in-turn to the people who give us space to live! 

Kid: oh! Is it so?

Zika Culicidae: yes!

Kid: you mean to say that parents should keep the house and neighbouring environment as clean as they do to us, which will help us in growing healthy right?

Zika Culicidae: yes! 100% right, we require only stagnant water that stays for longer duration for our livelihood!

Kid: So, you can’t survive without stagnant water that stays for longer!

Zika Culicidae: yes!

Kid: Do my parents know about this?

Zika Culicidae:  yes!

Kid:  No, they are not aware of this!

Zika Culicidae: yes, they know about it!

Kid: if they know, how come they are allowing you to live near us?

Zika Culicidae: They are aware of it! We have intensified our diseases from Malaria, Yellow Fever, Chicken Guinea, Dengue etc.,   even then people don’t maintain the cleanliness as their day to day routine!

Kid: if that is the case then my parents don’t love me? If they love me, how come they are putting their loved ones into troublesome situation knowingly?

Zika Culicidae: Yeah!!! Even today I have come here to do my duty, my dear!

Kid: No! Please don’t bite me!

Zika Culicidae: Sorry My dear! I am biting you to wake them up!

Kid: cries loudly! Waking up all! Waking up everyone’s conscience!
