The farmer felt sorry for the snake. “Poor thing,” he thought. “It will die in the cold.” He picked up the snake carefully and carried it home.

At home, the farmer put the snake near the warm fire. Slowly, the snake started to move. The farmer gave it milk to drink and felt happy that he had saved a life.

But as the snake became strong, it showed its true nature. It hissed loudly and bit the farmer’s hand! The farmer cried in pain.

“Why did you bite me?” he asked. “I saved your life!”
