African parable of good

Once a snake crawled through the African desert. She fled from the hunters. And suddenly she met a peasant on her way. “Save me, man,” she asked. The peasant hid the snake in his bosom and saved him from death.
When the hunters left, the peasant said: “That's all, there are no more hunters. Get out of there and crawl on your way. ”The snake refused to get out and said that she and there are good and calm. The peasant was afraid that the snake would bite him and asked the heron to eat the snake.
Heron rescued a peasant and ate a snake. The peasant looked at the heron and decided that it would be an excellent dinner for their poor family. He grabbed a heron and stuffed it into a bag.
When he came home, he told his wife everything that happened to him today and gave his wife a bag of loot. The wife of her husband for his act and hurried to let go of the heron.
But as soon as she opened the bag, a heron broke free, gnawed at her eyes and flew away.

Moral: if you see that water is going uphill, then someone answered good to good.
