Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese
A black kite snatched a snake, and then flew high up to the sky.
Wrapping himself around the black kite, the snake bit the black kite.
Both of them fell from the sky,
and the black kite died.
The snake said to the black kite that was about to die.
”Why did you do such a stupid thing to the one that hasn't done anything wrong to you?
That's why you're paying for it, and dying now.”
This story tells us that people who bully the weak self-indulgently will eventually encounter a situation
where they have to face the strong, and then pay for what they have done wrong.
The end
