Do Not Hurt Yourself

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.


 
Lesson to Learn:
Sometimes in trying to hurt others, we only hurt ourselves.

  6. Mmmm, I like this one very much. Even more interesting if you think about it the snake was probably not trying to hurt to saw but was reacting from instinct. Complicated moral.

    A thought provoking post, thank you Cat.

    1. You're welcome Han...the snake started out just trying to protect himself but he didn't stop to consider that the saw wasn't deliberately trying to hurt him. Bottom line...he ended up dying because of his temper.
