One night a snake while it was looking for food, entered a
carpenter’s workshop. The carpenter, who was a rather untidy
man, had left several of his tools lying on the floor.
.
One of them was a saw. As the snake went round and round the
shop, he climbed over the saw, which gave him a little cut. At
once, thinking that the saw was attacking him, he turned around
and bit it so hard that his mouth started to bleed.
.
This made him very angry. He attacked again and again until the
saw was covered with blood and seemed to be dead. Dying from
his own wounds, the snake decided to give one last hard bite then
turned away.
.
The next morning the carpenter was surprised to find a dead
snake on his doorstep.
.
Lesson to Learn: Sometimes in trying to hurt others, we only hurt
ourselves.
