A Farmer's Mistake Trusting a Snake

One cold winter morning, a kind-hearted farmer found a snake nearly frozen to death. Feeling pity, he picked it up and tucked it into his coat to warm it.

The snake slowly recovered. But as soon as it gained strength, it bit the farmer.

Shocked and in pain, the farmer cried out, "Why did you bite me? I saved your life!"

The snake hissed, "You knew what I was when you picked me up."

Moral of the Story

Never trust someone whose nature is to harm no matter how helpless they may seem.
