The Farmer and the Snake
Bu yazımızda, “Çiftçi ile Yılan” olarak bildiğimiz “The Farmer and the Snake” hikayesinin basit bir sürümünü derledik.
On a very cold winter day, a farmer was walking in his field. While walking, he saw something on the ground. It was a snake! The snake was very cold and it was not moving. It looked like it was sleeping or maybe dead.
The farmer felt very bad for the snake. He thought, “This snake is so cold. I should help it.” So, he picked up the snake carefully and put it inside his coat. The warmth from the farmer’s body started to make the snake feel better.
After a while, the snake began to move. It was alive and now it felt warm. The farmer was happy that he could help. But suddenly, the snake turned and bit the farmer’s hand.
The farmer was in pain and shocked. He said, “Why did you bite me? I saved you from the cold.”
The snake looked at the farmer and replied, “Thank you for helping me. But I am a snake. Biting is what I do.”
The farmer realized that some creatures will always follow their nature, no matter how kind you are to them.
🇺🇸 Trying to understand the true nature of something is as important as being well-intentioned.
🇹🇷 İyi niyetli olmak kadar, bir şeyin gerçek doğasını anlamaya çalışmak da önemlidir.
