Do Not Hurt Yourself 


One night a snake while it was looking for food, entered a carpenter’s workshop.

The carpenter, who was a rather untidy man, had left several of his tools lying 
on the floor. One of them was a saw. As the snake went round and round the 
shop, he climbed over the saw, which gave him a little cut.

At once, thinking that the saw was attacking him, he turned around and bit it 
so hard that his mouth started to bleed. This made him very angry. He attacked 
again and again until the saw was covered with blood and seemed to be dead.

Dying from his own wounds, the snake decided to give one last hard bite then 
turned away. The next morning the carpenter was surprised to find a dead snake 
on his doorstep.

Lesson to Learn:
Sometimes in trying to hurt others, we only hurt ourselves..
