THE FARMER AND THE
SNAKE
 THE FARMER AND THE SNAKE
Once upon a time, a humble and
generous farmer lived in a village. He
was a very hard-working man and
earned decent money with honesty.
He had a small field outside the
village where he planted crops. He
sold the harvest to feed his small
family and lived happily. The farmer
was a helpful person and always
reached out to help others in need.
 One cold morning, he was
getting ready to work in his
field. People were not outside
their homes yet. He decided
to go to his field when the sun
was just about to rise.
As he was about to reach his field,
he found a venomous snake lying
near a bush. It was cold that day,
and the snake was breathing its
last breath. The cold had got to
him badly. The snake was lying
stiff on the ground. The freezing
temperature did not let him move,
and he was dying.
 The farmer felt sorry for the snake
and started thinking of ways to save
his life. He knew that the snake was
venomous but still wanted to give him
a chance to survive. He could not let
the snake die like this. He took the
snake in his bosoms to warm him up.
The snake felt the little heat and
started to revive. Eventually, the
snake was capable enough to move
on his own. The farmer kept on
warming him with his body heat.
 After some time, the snake
regained all his strength and
was ready to move. The
snake suddenly realized that
a man was holding him closer
to his body. Within a moment,
he jolted and bit the farmer
without realizing that he had
saved his life.
 The farmer was
awestruck. The snake
has injected his poison
into the farmer’s body.
The farmer felt pain
travelling through his
veins.
He sat down and breathed
his last, thinking about why
he saved the snake, just so
it could bite him. He urged
the others standing around
him to learn from his
mistake – A snake will
always bite you even if you
save his life.
