The snake

This is a short story to tell, no matter how good are your intentions,
you can always
fail.

There was this spring, down there in Tanzania
and there was a snake living there in the neighborhood.

People was forced to go to that spring because it was the only water source available.
And sometimes people was not coming back.

One day they decided to kill the snake, and so they did.
And water stop flowing from the spring.


This was because the snake, crawling between the rock's cavities, was keeping them clean, from mud and pebbles, giving water a clear path to follow up to the spring.

The village though they were cursed, and they moved in another place.
