Once upon a time, there was a farmer. One day, while he was working in the fields, he saw a hare run into a tree stump accidentally and die of a broken neck. The farmer took the hare home and cooked a delicious meal for himself.  That night he thought, I needn't work so hard. All I have to do is wait every day by the stump to pick up the hare that runs into it. So from then on he gave up farming, and stood by the tree stump waiting for the hare to come and run into it.  But from then on, he never saw another hare run into the tree stump.

    It happened in a very cold 1. One day a farmer was on his way 2. Suddenly, he saw a snake lying on the 3 almost frozen to death. "Poor snake! Let me 4 your life!”said the farmer. Then he put the snake under his coat, next to his warm body.

    A few minutes 5 , the snake came back to life. The farmer did not get any signs of thanks for saving the snake's life. 6 the snake bit the farmer and left. "Poor me! Why did I save the life of a cold-blooded snake?" 7 the dying farmer.
