Every year in Taiwan …. and all over the world, people get sick with dengue
fever … from mosquito bites!
每年在台灣，甚至全球，恨多人都因為被蚊子咬而感染登革熱

We should be careful of mosquitoes and not get a mosquito bite … because we don't want to get Dengue Fever! 不想有登革熱就不要被蚊子咬到喔
BUT … you might not know …. most of the time, mosquitoes actually help the world! That's right! 蚊子其實對世界是有幫助的，很難想像吧

then the mosquitoes spread the seeds so more plants and flowers can grow!
