The Snake Who Carried Frogs

An old snake could not hunt well. He told the frogs, "I am cursed to serve frogs as a carrier." The frog king was delighted and rode on his back.

The snake moved slowly and gained trust. Then he said, "I am weak from hunger. May I eat one frog a day?" The proud king agreed carelessly.

Soon the pond grew empty. The king realised too late that comfort bought with another's suffering eventually reaches one's own door.
