Report

     ONE WINTER a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He  had
compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake  was
quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its
benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer  with
his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."
     The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.
