Once a
farmer called Ram
lived in a
small village. He
was very kind – hearted. Many
animals lived in
his farm. They
also helped him to
grow crops. Like the
hen killed all
the worms which
destroyed the crops,
the owls which
killed the mice
and other night
animals, the kites
killed the small
animals which made
burrows and holes
in Ram ‘ s fields.
One day a baby snake
came to his
field. “ Kill that
snake, It’s very poisonous”
shouted all the
workers. But Ram was
a very kind
person. He stopped the
workers and took
it to a
corner and made
a burrow for
the snake. He
also made a path
near his
field because he
thought it may
kill the mice
living there. He also
took nice care
of it. But the
snake grew up
to be cruel. Instead of
killing mice it
killed the other
animals that helped
Ram. Ram also came
to know about
the snake but
he didn’t do
anything. But the
snake was scared
only of a
long stick Ram
carried.
One day a kite was
perched on a
broken branch near
the snake’s burrow.
He saw the kite
and jumped on
it and wrapped
himself around the
kite. All the
animals tried to
pull the kite
but the snake
had wrapped himself
tightly around the
kite. Suddenly the
snake saw Ram
with the long
stick and let
go of the
kite. The kite
was relieved. But
the snake didn’t
give up so
easily. This time
he planned to
attack Ram and
his family but
he never got
an opportunity because
Ram always used
to carry the
long stick with
him.
One day, Ram and his
family were returning from
the market. This
time Ram wasn’t
carrying the stick
so the snake jumped
at Ram’s foot
to bite him.
The kite whom
Ram had saved
picked the snake
and threw him
far from the
farm. Ram was
very happy and so were
the other animals.
The whole farm
rejoiced again.
