There was once a little child whose mother gave her every afternoon a small bowl of milk and bread, and the child seated herself in the yard with it. When she began to eat however, a snake came creeping out of a creviceof bread, Thou shalt refresh thyself with milk."   Then the snake came in haste, and enjoyed its food. Moreover it showed gratitudein the kitchen, heard the child talking to someone, and when she saw that she was striking a snake with her spoon, ran out with a log of wood, and killed the good little creature.    From that time forthcheeks and wasted away. It was not long before the funeral bird began to cry in the night, and the redbreast（知更鳥） to collect little branches and leaves for a funeral garland（花環(huán)）, and soon afterwards the child lay on her bier.    Second Story   An orphanchild was sitting on the town walls spinning, when she saw a snake coming out of a hole low down in the wall. Swiftly she spread out beside this one of the blue silk handkerchiefs which snakes have such a strong likingfor, and which are the only things they will creep on. As soon as the snake saw it, it went back, then returned, bringing with it a small golden crown, laid it on the handkerchief, and then went away again. The girl took up the crown, it glittered and was of delicate golden filagree work. It was not long before the snake came back for the second time, but when it no longer saw the crown, it crept up to the wall, and in its grief smoteits little head against it as long as it had strength to do so, until at last it lay there dead. If the girl had but left the crown where it was, the snake would certainly have brought still more of its treasures out of the hole.
