　　The serpent and the eagle

　　An eagle swooped down upon a serpent and caught it in his talons. But the serpent was very quick. It coiled around the eagle in a moment.

　　A countryman saw the fierce fight. He came to help the eagle, and freed him from the serpent.

　　In revenge, the serpent spat some of its poison into the man's drinking-cup.

　　When the man was about to drink the water in the cup, the eagle knocked it out of his hand, and spilled the poisoned water on the ground.
