NAME:

the lumberjack and the snake

On a terribly cold and sober day, a lumberjack was marching home when he saw something lying lifeless and motionless in the snow. It was a snake and it looked like it was close to dying. Being kind hearted, he gently picked her up and ran home with her. He bolted through the door and placed the snake near the fireplace.
Their children watched in amazement as the heat of the fire brought the snake back to life. One of them bent down to caress her gently, but the evil snake raised its head and was about to give the child a mortal sting when, seeing such ingratitude, the woodcutter took his ax and killed the snake.

– Oh! – he said. – It is a pity that this snake has not learned to cultivate gratitude in its heart.
