The Farmer and the Snake

Once upon a wintery day, a farmer found a snake, stiff and still.

The Kind-hearted man, wearing a cozy hat and warm coat is walking through the snowy fields, and he sees a Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes curled up and barely moving.

The snake was shivering and feeling very blue, so the farmer knew just what to do.

The Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes is making quiet hissing sounds, and the Kind-hearted man, wearing a cozy hat and warm coat is looking concerned.

He scooped up the snake and held it close, whispering, 'I'll help you warm up, I suppose.'

The Kind-hearted man, wearing a cozy hat and warm coat is gently picking up the Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes and cradling it in his arms.

He built a toasty fire with crackling flames, and the snake began to wiggle and play fun games.

The Kind-hearted man, wearing a cozy hat and warm coat and the Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes are sitting by the warm fire, and the Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes is moving around and looking happier.

The snake slithered and danced with glee, as grateful as grateful could be!

The Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes is happily slithering and making joyful sounds, and the Kind-hearted man, wearing a cozy hat and warm coat is smiling.

From that day on, the snake and the farmer were pals, sharing adventures and laughs and yummy snacks.

The Kind-hearted man, wearing a cozy hat and warm coat and the Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes are walking side by side, with big smiles on their faces.

And whenever the cold winds blew, the snake and the farmer knew just what to do; share warmth and care and kindness, too.

The Kind-hearted man, wearing a cozy hat and warm coat and the Sneaky snake, with shiny green scales and bright, beady eyes are hugging each other, and there's a bright, heartwarming light shining around them.
