folk tale

[SwampG8r]

Once , a man was picking up firewood.
he came upon a poisonous snake frozen in the snow.
he took the snake home and nursed it back to health.
One day the snake bit him on the cheek.
As he lay dying, he asked the snake, "Why have you done this to me?"
And the snake answered, "Look , you knew I was a snake."

1. I agree....

Let 'em freeze, let 'em starve, let 'em die.

They didn't do the right things when they were thriving, there's no reason to think that they'll be anything nobler than poisonous snakes if we nurse them back to health.

I strongly dislike snakes.

2. I thought it was a scorpion!
