high-definition creative commons posters depicting Three Stories About Snakes from the Pañcatantra together with further information.
These fables explore the treacherous nature of serpents and the folly of trusting the untrustworthy. In one, a man saves a snake only to have it turn on him, arguing that it is its nature to bite. The stories conclude that kindness is wasted on those whose inherent character is malicious, and one should never expect gratitude from a natural enemy.
