The squirrel was taking a short nap in the tree when he heard a hissing sound. When he opened his eyes, he couldn't believe what he saw. A yellow snake was slowly creeping into the nest of his friend, the bird.
"Hey, stop right there! I won't allow you to steal eggs from my friend's nest," shouted the squirrel.
"Ah, just shut up. If you keep quiet, I will reward you with enough nuts and fruits to last your entire lifetime," said the snake.
"Don't try to bribe me with your false promises. If you don't get down right now, I'm going to tell everyone that you are a thief, and everybody will hate you," said the squirrel firmly.
The yellow snake slithered down from the tree and went on his way.
When the bird returned, she learned about the snake's attempt to steal her eggs and how her dear friend had chased him away. The mother bird thanked the squirrel for his timely help and brought him a lot of nuts and fruits as a token of appreciation.
