     One day a snake was looking for food. She found a hole and went into it. "Hooray!" It was a house for mice.
She said to herself happily. There, she saw some little babies of mice. "They are good dinner for me!" 
     She came to them and asked, "Where are your parents?" The babies answered, "They went out for food."
"Food? Good!" said the snake. "Come on and listen to me. I came here to see your parents and tell them not to
steal the people's grain any longer or I will kill you all." The little mice worried about their own safety. "Don't be
afraid, my body is like the hole. It is a safe place. When I open my mouth, you can come into it one by one.
Then we will wait for your parents coming back. Are you clear?" The little babies came into the snake from her
mouth one by one.
     A moment later, the mice's parents came back with some grain. Just then they found a snake in their room.
"Who are you? Why did you come into our house?" "Where are our babies?" asked the mice's parents. The snake
answered coolly, "I am a judge of the people. I knew you did a lot of bad deeds. You often steal lots of
foodstuff of the people. Today, I came to sentence you to death. Your babies have been in my body. Don't you

young woman opened the door, the boy was shy, so he just asked for some water. The woman knew he was
hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, "How much should I pay
for it?" "You won't pay for it. My mother has told me that it is good to help the people who are in trouble," she
