The Crow and the Serpent
Mon April 23, 2012 by Kunal Bansal
A CROW in great want of food saw a Serpent asleep in a sunny nook, and flying down, greedily seized him. The Serpent, turning about, bit the Crow with a mortal wound. In the agony of death, the bird exclaimed: 'O unhappy me! who have found in that which I deemed a happy windfall the source of my destruction.'
