The Woodcutter and the Snake


Sham S. Misri
Somebody killed a snake, but he did not cut or burn the body, he simply beat it.  But snakes, if they are not completely destroyed, can revive themselves by air.  So again this snake came back to life.  One day a wood cutter saw that snake looking badly beaten, and he took pity.  He took the snake home and gave him some milk.  And one day, when the snake was strong, he raised himself and hissed at the woodcutter.  The woodcutter thought, “Oh, I gave you milk and brought you back to life, and now you are trying to attack me?”  So he cut him into pieces.
