The Farmer And The Snake
Aesop Fable: The Farmer And The Snake
One Winter a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with
cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it
in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth,
and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting
on him a mortal wound.
"Oh," cried the Farmer with
his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."
The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.
