13. The Camel-Driver and the Adder


high-definition creative commons posters depicting The Camel-Driver and the Adder from the Pañcatantra together with further information.

A camel-driver saves an adder from a fire. Once safe, the adder prepares to bite him, arguing that humans are ungrateful by nature. They seek judgment from a cow and a tree, who both agree that humans are cruel. Just as the adder strikes, a fox intervenes, tricking the snake back into a bag, proving that wit can defeat malice.
