Fear is most dangerous

Shibu was a poor cobbler. He lived in a hut made of grass. Every day
he went to the village to repair the shoes and slippers of the people of
village. Once he came home very tired and wanted to rest. There was
a fierce storm that day. His wife said to him that “go and repair the
roof by tying the grass by a rope. Then he climbed to the roof with the
help of a ladder. Then he tied the grass of the roof by a rope lying
there. Suddenly he felt that he has been pinched. He thought he was
hurt by a stone. Then they sleep comfortably. Then in the morning
when Anu (the son of shibu and his wife) was going to school he saw a
snake on the roof of the hut. Then he told to his mother that there is a
snake on the roof. His mother said “you go to school and do not waste
your time.” When Anu went to school his mother said to Shibu that go
and see the snake. When Shibu saw the snake tied as a rope on the
roof, he reminded what he has done. Then he suddenly get reminded
of that he has tied a snake instead of a rope and the pinch was snake’s
bite. He thought that the poison of the snake has transferred to his
full body and he was admitted in the hospital.

Only few snakes are poisonous but the fear of a snake’s bite may kill a
person.
