How Snake Lost his Legs
Once upon a time, snake had 2 arms and 2 legs. His legs were the
strongest and fastest in the jungle. One day snake was walking and he was
telling the other animals how strong his legs were and how the patterns
on his legs were so beautiful. All the animals were so angry at the snake so
the lion, the leader of all animals, went to the jungle god and he told him
about the snake. The jungle god told the lion , “While the snake and the
other animals are sleeping, bring the snake to me. I will feed him a
magical potion.” “Ok” said the lion. “But what will happen”? “You will see
tomorrow,” said jungle god. The next day snake woke up and he wanted to
go to the pond to admire his strong and shiny legs. But when snake tried
to get up he realized his beautiful legs and arms were gone. In shock and
embarrassment snake slithered of sadly into the lush green jungle.
