House and snake

House and snake
Enlight

One man with his wife and son settled in the city and built himself a house. But a snake appeared in this house and began to harm him. First she injured the leg of his horse, then she brought his son to the grave, then his wife, and, finally, the owner himself became her victim.

Whenever a snake harmed its owner, he intended to kill it, but as soon as he went to fulfill his intention, he found a gold coin on the road and, rejoicing at the find, returned back.
