A young girl walking along a mountain path to her grandmas house heard a rustle at her feet. Looking down, she saw a snake, but before she could react, the snake spoke to her. i am about to die, he said. Its too cold for me up here, and I am freezing. There is no food in these mountains, and I am starving. Please put me under your coat and take me with you. No , the girl replied. I know your kind. You are a rattlesnake. And if I pick you up, you will bite me and your bite is poisonous. No, no, the snake said. If you help me, you will be my best friend. I will treat you differently. The young girl sat down on a rock for a moment to rest and think things over. She looked at the beautiful markings on the snake and she had to admit he was the most beautiful snake she had ever seen. Suddenly, she said, I believe you. I will save you. All living things deserve to be treated with kindness. She then reached over, put the snake gently under her coat and continued toward her grandmothers house. Within a moment, she felt a sharp pain in her side. The snake had bitten her! How could you do this to me? She cried. You promised that you would not bite me, and I trusted you! You knew what I was when you picked me up, he hissed as he slithered away. THE MORAL of the Snake story? A snake bites you because he/she is a snake by nature - and a beautiful liar to charm and manipulate you - until 1) you either open your eyes and ears wise up and leave, or 2) he/she moves on to the next victim. The snake doesnt have a conscience or morals like a decent, God-fearing people, and any moment of regret he/she may feel, if any, will be quickly forgotten - thats how these kinds of predators operate, its in their DNA.
