THE WHITE SNAKE AND THE BLACK SNAKE #Inspirational Moral
Stories
The
legendary wise King Solomon had gone hunting one day, when he saw a
black
snake attacking a black snake. The white snake was larger, while the
black
snake was smaller but had big poisonous fangs. When the black snake
was
about to bite the white snake, King Solomon hurled a stone at it, killing
it. The
white snake slithered into the forest. A little later, King Solomon
found
himself facing a huge giant. The king was terrified, but the giant said:
‘I’m the
white snake. The black snake had been trying to kill me for long, and
we
changed into snakes.’ The giant wanted to give a gift to the king, and
offered
him a choice between gold, or a gift that heals. The king said that he
had many
riches, and the gift of healing would be useful to a doctor. When
the
giant insisted that the king should take something, the King said he would
like to
have wisdom. The giant promised him abundant wisdom. That’s how
King
Solomon became the world’s wisest man.
