The Wasp and the Snake

A WASP seated himself upon the head of a Snake and, striking him

unceasingly with his stings, wounded him to death. The Snake, being in

great torment and not knowing how to rid himself of his enemy, saw a

wagon heavily laden with wood, and went and purposely placed his head

under the wheels, saying, “At least my enemy and I shall perish

together.”
