Once in a cold winter morning when a villager was going to his field he found a snake half dead with cold, lying by the side of the road. The villager took pity upon it, brought it home and placed it by the fire side. He then gave it warm milk and made the snake comfortable. When the snake became well, he began to play with the children of the villager and, for a time, the snake behaved very well. But the snake was wicked to the backbone, and while playing one day with the children of the villager, he bit one of them. At this the villager became very angry and with his axe he killed the snake.
