The Countryman and the Snake.

A Villager found a Snake under a hedge, almost dead with cold. He couldnot help having a compassion for the poor creature, so he brought ithome, and laid it upon the hearth near the fire; but it had not lainthere long, before (being revived with the heat) it began to erectitself, and fly at his wife and children. The Countryman, hearing anoutcry, and perceiving what the matter was, caught up a mattock, andsoon dispatched him, upbraiding him at the same time in these words: "Isthis, vile wretch, the reward you make to him that saved your life?"

Kindness to the ungrateful and the vicious is thrown away.
