THE SNAKE AND THE EAGLE #Inspirational Moral Stories
On a
clear summer day, an eagle was flying high, scanning the ground below
for its
prey. It spotted a snake, dove down and swooped on it. But the snake
had seen
the eagle and gripped it hard. As the eagle struggled to free itself, a
farmer
who was working nearby, saw this. He hit the snake hard with his axe,
missing
its neck, but forcing the snake to release the eagle. The snake slinked
into the
grass, and the eagle settled on a tree. When the farmer returned
home,
the snake followed him. So did the eagle. On entering his kitchen, the
farmer
poured out water in a glass, but went to wash his hands. The snake
quickly
spat its poison into the water and slithered away. Just as the farmer
lifted
the glass, the eagle knocked it out of his hands, making all the water
fall
down. Little did the farmer know that the eagle had saved his life, just as
he had
saved its life!
