Once, a Man found a Snake coiled on the ground. He became
scared and was about to kill it. Just then, the Snake cried out, “If you wish
to kill me, you may, but before that please listen to how ungrateful
man has been!”
The Man agreed.
Soon, a Cow came by. The Snake asked the Cow what she thought
of man. The Cow said, “I have denied milk to my little calves and given man milk for years. In return, I do not get
even a ‘Thank you’.”
The Man said, “We are fools to listen to this old, silly
Cow, let’s ask the Ox.” The Ox said, “I have worked hard on the fields most of
my life, but all I got from my master in return is only beating!”
Next, they asked a Tree. The Tree said, “I gave fruits,
flowers and shelter to man. But, one day, my branches were chopped down by the same
man for firewood.”
After Man had heard them, he thought, We have been so
selfish! Snake, you are free to go. I am sorry for all the trouble we have
caused the animals and the trees.”
Be grateful
to all who help you.
