The boy and the Snake (№ 330028)

One boy came back from the woods home and said:
I saw a two-headed snake.
- Woe to you! - cried the terrified mother. - Woe to you! Know that seeing a two-headed snake will be forever miserable!
Hearing this, the boy began to cry.
His father sighed and said:
Go tell the residents of the surrounding villages, so they did not go into the woods. Otherwise, they will see a two-headed snake and will also be unhappy.
- No one else will see the double-headed snake, said through tears boy. - I killed her...
Again the mother began to cry:
- Others you have saved from disaster, and himself condemned to life in misery!..
- Do not fear for our son, - said suddenly fun father. He killed a two-headed creature and, therefore, saved from disaster a lot of people. In a difficult hour he will remember how many people owe him their happiness. Then my own sorrow seems our son is miserable. Because it is known since ancient times: who brings happiness to others, he is happy himself.
