 Japanese & English ・Japanese & Chinese
  A black kite snatched a snake, and then flew  high up to the sky. 
 Wrapping himself around the black kite, the  snake bit the black kite.
 
   Both of them fell from the sky,
 and the black kite died.
 
 The snake said to the black kite that was about  to die.
 
 ”Why did you do such a stupid thing to the one  that hasn't done anything wrong to you?
 That's why you're paying for it, and dying now.”
 
 
 This story tells us that people who bully the  weak self-indulgently will eventually encounter a situation
 
 where they have to face the strong, and then pay  for what they have done wrong.
