Passage 6 Farmer and the Snake

It was a cold winter day. A farmer found a snake on the ground.

It was nearly dead by cold. The Farmer was a kind man. He picked up the snake carefully and put it under the coat. Soon the snake Began to move and it raised its mouth and bit the farmer.

Oh, My god! said the farmer, I save your life, but you thank me in that way. You must die.

Then he killed the snake with a stick. At last he died, too.
