The fable of snake and mouse

There was once a snake in an abandoned temple in the country. It is worshipped as the patron saint of the town temple, protecting the village from rat disasters. It was too lazy to feed and ate the sacrifices offered by the villagers.

"A snake with aura! Please accept our worship and bless our village from rat disaster! " A farmer put rabbit meat in a sacrificial bowl, knelt on a yellow mat, knocked his head three times and left piously.

"Snake fairy, our family has been farming for generations, and our mouths are pointing to the fields to live. Please bless our autumn harvest! " A peasant woman bowed her head and knocked some delicious cakes, prayed devoutly and left silently.

The snake crawled in the corner of the temple, observing the surrounding terrain, and suddenly saw a mouse string in from outside the door. The snake climbed very fast, surrounded the mouse with its own body and said to it, "Little mouse, where are you going?" See what I can do to you. "

"Snake elder sister, forgive me! It's right to be a mouse, but I never do bad things! " The mouse bowed its head and begged for mercy, and then said, "I see you are busy in the village, so I specially gave you a massage." Please let me go first! "

After listening to his words, the snake felt that there was some truth, and its body gradually loosened. The mouse had a brainwave and rolled his eyes and said, "Sister Snake, you have been worshipped by the whole village. Who doesn't know that you are very influential in Fiona Fang, a few kilometers around here? My little mouse, where is your opponent? " You let go first, I can't run far! Why don't you try my massage technique? If you feel uncomfortable, it's not too late to kill me again! "

The snake was overjoyed. It turns out that its name has already spread. Looking at this humble mouse, it thought: reasonable! Anyway, it escaped, and I can catch it, just because I am tired, so I might as well try its massage. The snake released the mouse and said, "See what tricks you dare to play." Hammer this girl, it's sour here. "Then he pointed his head at his back and said.

"I have to do it." The little mouse walked carefully, climbed onto the snake's back quietly, then gently pressed it with his sensitive little hand, and then asked, "Is this it?" The snake was a little alert at first, and gradually became fond of the massage process, and kept saying "heavier." Yes, right here. He closed his eyes and said, "Who did you learn this massage from?" There are some brushes! " "

"Hey hey, I began to practice from the womb. Is this your first massage? If you like, I will give you a massage every day. " Said the little mouse.

"good! Come on, press it like this, oh, gently. " The snake closed its eyes and enjoyed it. It has long forgotten to catch mice.

The mouse rolled its eyes and began to test the snake, saying, "Sister Snake, you are so blessed. You were born to be worshipped by so many villagers, unlike us mice! I have done nothing bad, but why are our fates so different? "

The snake didn't mention how comfortable it was, so it took it for granted, "Hey, who told you to steal all the time?" ? I smashed the brand myself. "

The little mouse begged, "Sister Snake, my life is so bitter!" I haven't eaten for days and nights. Can you give me a piece of cake as long as I can fill my stomach? I want nothing more. "

"Well, there is one on the counter. When you have finished your massage, go and get it yourself. " The snake said frankly.

"Thank you, you are my parents. I will never forget your kindness. You ... "

"Come on, it's a piece of cake. Don't be so polite."

After the massage, the mouse ate the cake and thought, This snake likes to listen to good words. I just need to say good words. There are too many sacrifices here. I have to find a way to get my wife to come here quickly so that she can enjoy life. Hey, hey, this big stupid snake is just a paper tiger!

A few days later, the little mouse massaged the snake and said, "Sister Snake, I will be a cow and a horse in the next life to repay you. It's a pity that my wife is still hungry at home. As a little mouse, I have no ability to give it a good life, but I have no ability! Hey, I'm ashamed of my wife. I don't deserve to be a mouse! " The mouse patted its chest and watched the snake's reaction.

The snake sympathized with the mouse and said, "The temple here is not big, but it is more than enough for your wife. Your long-term separation is not conducive to emotional development. Or you can pick it up and live here tonight! "

"Snake elder sister, you are my benefactor! Then I'll pick it up tonight. " The little mouse deliberately pretended to be poor and secretly pleased. So snakes are so gullible!

In the evening, the little mouse and his wife moved to the temple. When the snake was sleeping, the little mouse said to Mrs. Mouse, "Honey, look how nice it is here!" " There is food on the counter, which is much better than our home. Take whatever you want! "

Mrs. Mouse was a little scared and said, "Husband, you are too courageous!" " ! Snakes are different from us. Besides, we steal for a living, and people arrest us specially. Now that we are in someone else's territory, how dare you? "

The little mouse gently kissed his wife's forehead and said, "honey, don't be afraid, I'm here!" " According to my observation, this snake looks good and likes to hear good things. I have my own way of handling it. You just need to eat and drink. "

Mrs. Mouse looked at the little mouse in horror and said, "Is that all right?" ? A thousand ... "

The little mouse patted his wife on the back and said, "If you don't trust your husband, that's all right. It is getting late. Let's go to sleep and don't wake the snake. "

The little mouse looked at Mrs. Mouse's uneasy appearance and whispered a few words in her ear, which made her fall asleep.

After two weeks, the snake looked at the loving look of the mouse couple and said with a smile, "You are so sweet, you are inseparable. You really envy others. "

"Thank you very much for taking care of the snake sister. Why not kowtow to Sister Snake? " The little mouse said, pulling Mrs. Mouse down on her knees.

"Okay, okay, we are all one of our own. You're welcome. "

"Snake elder sister is good to us, we keep it in mind. Sister snake, just one thing, I wonder if I can ask you for help? "

"What is it?"

"My wife is pregnant."

"Pregnant? Great joy, good thing. "

"It's just that there are fewer and fewer sacrifices now, and my wife needs supplementary nutrition. How can this be good? "

"Also, your wife is pregnant to supplement nutrition, so what are you going to do? Move? "

"Snake elder sister has always regarded us as relatives. How can you leave with such deep feelings? I asked about it: there is a villager's house next to it that specializes in growing wheat. It's delicious. I'm going to ask for some for my wife's health. "

"To steal? This is not aboveboard, is it not good? "

"But I always feel that my wife is not hungry to have children? Besides, just a little. As long as the wife is full, it is enough. I won't take it again. "

"All right, then!"

"Sister Snake, can you watch the door for me and let me know if there is any movement?"

"This. This ... "

"Snake elder sister, you are the best. How do you think our children will recognize you as godmother in the future? Just give birth to my wife, ok? "

"Well, I'll listen to you."

While the night was deep, the snake quietly stood at the door, and the little mouse sneaked into the field to chew wheat by himself, and did not forget to bring some fresh plants to his wife.

Back at the ruined temple, Mrs. Mouse couldn't believe her eyes. The mouse really stole the food, and the snake was willing to guard the door.

When the snake went to sleep, Mrs. Mouse kissed the mouse wildly and said, "Husband, you are great. I love you to death. "

The little mouse proudly said, "look at your husband, right?" Snakes are not afraid, everything is a cloud. "

"Mm-hmm." Mrs. Mouse ate the food and praised the mouse's extraordinary skills.

A month later, Mrs. Mouse successfully gave birth to a litter of mice. The snake saw a nest of lovely mice and said, "Congratulations, you are all parents."

"Oh, what is there to congratulate? A nest of mice has mouths under their beards, and now we sacrifice less, which is not enough! "

"Didn't your wife say not to steal when she gave birth to a good baby?"

"Snake elder sister, I don't have any requirements. I don't expect my children to be as famous as you when they grow up. I just want it to be safe. As a parent, I cannot support them. I am really useless. " The little mouse cried while talking.

"Well, I know. You go to sleep, we will steal tomorrow night, and we agreed that when they grow up, they will not steal. "

"Of course, of course."

The next night, the villagers got together for a meeting. They were all discussing why rats were swarming and food was stolen seriously recently.

"Now the rat disaster is getting more and more serious. What do you say? " The village party secretary said.

"I don't know why. In recent years, we have worshipped the snake fairy and never met a mouse. "

"Or a snake fairy? The last time I waited at night, I saw it guarding the door for the little mouse. They are in the same group. I have long since stopped offering sacrifices. "

"What? Is there such a thing? "

Everyone is talking about it, everyone is talking about it. The village party secretary coughed a few times and said, "Don't talk nonsense, it needs evidence. Well, let's lie in wait tonight and see what happens. "

Several strong men volunteered to participate, and quietly ambushed at night with hoes.

Where is the snake? As usual, I visited the surrounding area and tipped off the rats. When the villagers saw the snake and the mouse, they suddenly realized that the strong men were copying that guy and had to kill the snake first. The snake was so frightened that it had to flee in panic.

When the mouse saw the snake escape, it quietly buried it in the ground. The strong man saw that it was too dark and pretended to leave. Seeing the back of their departure, the snake breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had been worshipped, but now he has become the object of being hunted because of the temptation of the moment. The more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets.

The snake knew the escape route of mice and found them by smelling their bodies. When the mouse looked into the snake's eyes, he knew something was wrong. He quickly begged for mercy and said, "Sister Snake, we are all in the same boat now. Have mercy and leave us alone! "

"Let you go? Who will help me? I used to eat tributes, but now I live a life of escape. Tell me, what should I do? "

"Snake elder sister, there is always a way. Don't be angry! " The mouse's legs trembled with fear this time, and the newborn mouse spoke again. As soon as the snake saw their family, it got angry, tied them up and suffocated them, enjoying themselves one by one. The snake just ate the mouse, didn't digest it well, and walked slowly.

I heard the villagers shouting, "Kill this snake!" Several strong men rushed over and soon caught the snake and killed it. They dried the snakeskin and put it in the ground to warn those self-righteous mice.
