The snake said, “Please, help me!” But the hunter said, “You will eat me if I help you.” The snake said, “I promise to not eat you.” So the hunter helped the snake.

When the snake was free, he said, “Now, I am free, and I will eat you.” The hunter said, “You cannot eat me. You promised!”

The hunter said, “I want to ask three judges. If one of them takes my side, you cannot eat me.” The snake agreed to ask three judges.

The first judge was an old dog. The dog said, “When I was young and strong, my master loved me. Now, I cannot hunt, and he hates me. You may eat the man.”

The next judge was a horse. The horse said, “When I was young, my master loved me because I was strong. Now, he wants me dead. You may eat the man.”
