| 11 One winter a Farmer found a Viper frozen and
numb with cold, and out of pity picked it up and
placed it in his bosom. The Viper was no
sooner revived by the warmth than it turned
upon its benefactor and inflicted a fatal
bite upon him; and as the poor man lay dying, he
cried, "I have only got what I deserved, for taking
compassion on so villainous a creature."
