THE FARMER AND HIS DOG traditional A farmer lived in the country, alone but for his baby son and his dog. He rose early to tend the fields, and found upon his return the baby’s cradle overturned and bloody, and his dog beside it, also covered in blood. Thinking that the dog had destroyed his son, and distraught over the betrayal, the farmer killed the dog without hesitation. Afterwards, as he was cleaning the mess, he righted the cradle and found his child unharmed beneath, and beside the child was an enormous serpent obviously slain by his dog. The farmer ever after lamented his hasty actions, because he could not restore his faithful pet to life.
