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.
" Sometimes in trying
to hurt others, we only hurt ourselves."
