Do Not Hurt Yourself

One night a snake entered a carpenters workshop while it was looking for
food.

The carpenter was a rather untidy man who had left several tools scattered
on the floor.
One of them was a saw. As the snake was crawling he went over the saw which
gave him a little cut.

At once, thinking that the saw was attacking him, he turned around and bit
the saw to get even with it and have his revenge. He bit the saw so hard
that his mouth started to bleed.

This made him more angry. He attacked the saw again and again until the saw
was covered with blood.
Finally he stopped thinking that the saw was dead. Dying from his own
wounds, the snake was not satisfied having taken his revenge and further
decided to give one last hard bite and squeeze the saw by winding itself
across, as tight as he could, before he left.

The next morning the carpenter was surprised to find a dead snake on his
doorstep.
