Snake And Rat |

There lived a snake catcher in a village who used to catch snakes from the forest every day and sell them in the market. That snake catcher did not have the slightest sympathy for snakes. One day a snake catcher caught a snake and imprisoned it in a basket made of wood and brought that snake home. Then the snake catcher started eating food in his house. The snake catcher started thinking while eating. The snake captured in the basket should be given something to eat. Only then will you get a good amount for that snake. After the meal, the snake catcher caught a rat and put it in the basket so that the snake could eat the rat. After finding the rat in his basket, the snake was about to eat the rat when the rat spoke. Hey brother, please don't eat me. So the snake said, if I do not eat you then I myself will die of hunger.
So the mouse said, if you don't eat me. So I can free you from this prison. As soon as the rat said this, the snake started laughing loudly. And the snake said, you will give me freedom. You yourself are in captivity and are about to die at my hands. The mouse said, yes, I can get you freedom. If you listen to me. After independence, you can eat lots of rats, lizards and frogs and roam wherever you want and anyway eating me is not going to fill your stomach. The snake thought the mouse was right. Nothing is going to happen to me with this little mouse. The snake agrees with the rat.
The rat says you have to keep your eyes closed until I tell you. Open your eyes only when I say. The snake listens to the rat and closes its eyes and starts thinking. As soon as this little mouse frees me. Similarly, I will eat this rat also. And the heart is happy.
The poor mouse slowly starts biting the basket. After a lot of hard work, when a small hole is made in the basket, the rat immediately comes out of the basket. As soon as the rat comes out, the snake opens its eyes and sees that the rat has gone out of the basket. The snake also tries to get out of that small hole. But because the hole is small, he is unable to come out and angrily shouts at the rat that you have cheated me. You promised me to set me free. Now we both are friends, the mouse replies laughing. I know the nature of snakes. If I had freed you too, you would have definitely eaten me.
Anyway, have you ever heard about the friendship between snakes and rats? That's why I made a false promise to you and the mouse wags its little tail and goes into its hole.
