Summary
1. THE SNAKE’S FALL Once upon a time, there was a snake who thought he was the strongest and smartest animal in the forest. 2. THE HUNGRY SNAKE MEETS THE FISH Fish: “Please, don't eat us, Mr. Snake! We are small and have families too.” Snake: “I Don't care about your families. I am hungry, and you are food!” The snake ate as many fish as he could and slithered out of the river, his belly full. 3. 3 MEETING THE RABBIT At the river's edge, he saw a mother rabbit feeding her baby. Rabbit: “Please don't eat me, Mr. Snake. My baby needs me. She is too small to take care of herself alone.” Snake: “I only care about my hunger!” 4. THE CLEVER SQUIRREL AND BIRD High in a tree, a squirrel saw what was happening and called his friend, a bird. “We need to stop the snake Squirrel: “We need to stop the snake.” Bird: “Oh, mighty snake! did you know there’s a treasure hidden under the big oak tree? Only the strongest can find it!” 5. 5 FINDING THE TREASURE Curious and proud, the snake slithered to the oak tree, leaving the rabbit behind. He dug and dug but found nothing. Snake: “Where is the treasure?” Bird: “The treasure isn’t gold. It’s kindness.” Squirrel: “That's true. True strength comes from helping others, not hurting them.” 6. A NEW BEGINNING The snake thought about the fish and the rabbit and felt ashamed. “I want to be better,” he said. He apologized to the rabbit and promised to change. From that day on, the snake became friends with the squirrel, bird, rabbit, and even the fish. Together, they showed the forest that kindness is the greatest treasure.
