             THE SLY DOCTOR
           *******************
  Once upon a time there lived a doctor.He was crooked and his only aim was to mint money by hook or crook. One day he was passing through a village when he saw a serpent on a tree. Seeing a chap coming his way, a wicked idea bobbed up in his mind.
   He mused," I have a cure for snake bite. So if that chap were to get bitten by that snake, his parents would pay a lot to save his life."He waited for the lad to reach the tree. When the boy reached, he requested him,"Would you please get me some leaves from that tree for medicinal use?"
    The chap clambered a rock and began plucking the leaves when he saw the snake creeping towards him.He seized it by its head instantaneously and slung it away.
   Unfortunately for the doctor, the snake landed on him and bit him several times. As a result, the scalawag doctor fell down dead.
