Long ago, there was a hunter who used to catch animals using a trap. One day, he set a trap in one of the thick bushes near his home. After some hours, he went to check his trap. He was sure that he would find at least an animal in it. As he walked nearer the trap, he saw a snake in it. The man was shocked.

"So it is you inside my trap!" the man said.
"Please le me out!" the snake cried.
"I've got you this time!" said the man as he started looking for a big stick.
"Please, don't kill me! If you let me out, we shall be good friends" said the snake.
"If I let you out of the trap, will you promise that you won't bite me?" asked the man.
"I promise! I promise that I won't bite you. You will be very safe if you let me out of this dangerous trap" replied the snake.
"Alright, I'll let you out." Said the man. So, the man set the snake free.
"Aha! I'm now free. I'm now going to bite you because you were the one who set the trap" said the snake.
Just as the snake was about to jump on the man, Mr. Rat arrived at the place.
"Whaat's the matter?" Mr. Rat asked.
"I had set my trap to catch animals. But this unfriendly snake got caught in it. He begged me to let him out and he promised not to bite me if I set him free. After letting him out, he changed his mind. He was just about to bite me when you arrived," the man explained to Mr.Rat

"I see! I see!", said Mr.Rat as he was now thinking of what should be done.
"Let's do this. Could you set the trap again and let me see exactly how snake got caught in it?" Mr. Rat asked the man.

"Yes. I'll do that." Replied the man as he set the trap again.
"Now, my friend Mr.Snake get in and let's see how you got caught in this trap." Mr. Rat said politely. The snake agreed and entered the trap. Once more he was unable to escape.
"There you are," Mr. Rat told the man.
"Now you can go ahead and kill him so tha" we are all safe. Mr Rat added.
