The Viper and the Water Snake
Once there was a small, beautiful lake. A green water snake lived in this lake. One day a poisonous viper came there. The viper wanted to drink the sweet water. The water snake got very angry.
"This lake is mine, you cannot drink!", she said. But the viper did not agree at all. The two snakes decided to fight for the lake. The frogs of the lake came and watched. During the fight the frogs shouted very loudly.
In the end the strong viper won. The viper looked at the frogs and spoke. "You did not help, you only shouted.", she said. A true friend does not just talk, he helps. Actions speak louder than words.
