The serpent and the eagle

An eagle swooped down upon a serpent and caught it in his talons. But the serpent was very quick. It coiled around the eagle in a moment. A countryman saw the fierce fight. He came to help the eagle, and freed him from the serpent. In revenge, the serpent spat some of its poison into the man's drinking-cup. When the man was about to drink the water in the cup, the eagle knocked it out of his hand, and spilled the poisoned water on the ground.
