One day, it was snowing heavily. It was white everywhere. A farmer had cut some wood and was returning home when he saw a rattlesnake on the road, numb with cold.
“Oh, little snake. Why aren’t you at home in such cold weather ? Look, you’re freezing. Poor you! ’’
The farmer thought some more to himself: “What can I do for you? Make a fire to warm you? No, it’s snowing so hard, and I have only a small bundle of wood. Besides, my family is waiting for the wood to cook.”
The farmer turned round and round anxiously and then saiwww.ixue5.comd: “I know! I’ll put you under my clothes, it’s warm there.” He uncut—toned his clothes and put the snake inside, against his chest.
Some time later, the snake came to life gradually. The warmth of the old farmer had not changed its cruel nature. It opened its mouth and bit right in to the farmer’s chest.
“Oh, my god! How cruel you are! I saved you, but you bit me. Why?” As he was saying this, he took out the snake and threw it on the ground.
But the farmer was already poisoned and was dying. Only at this time did he realize that he had done something wwww.cizhixin.netrong. “I took pity on him, but he bit me in return.”
