The Wasp and the Snake

A WASP seated himself upon the head of a Snake and, striking him unceasingly with his stings, wounded him to death. The Snake, tormented and desperate to rid himself of his relentless enemy, looked around and noticed a wagon heavily laden with wood. With a surge of determination, he slithered over and purposefully placed his head beneath the wheels of the heavy cart.

In that moment, the Snake thought to himself, "At least my enemy and I shall perish together." It was a final act of defiance, a way to ensure that both the tormentor and the tormented would meet their end in the same tragic fate.
