Once upon a time, in the Land of No One there lived a wild hunter, a powerful hunter oneI mean. He is so powerful to the extent that he could use any element such as Water, Land, Air and even he could call upon spirits at his will. One faithful day he went to the forest as usual to hunt and suddenly he met a snake running from a far distance, due to his power he could hear what the Snake is saying….

Snake: Hey hunter, could you please help me?

Hunter: Why should I help you? You are such a deceiving animal! said the Hunter

Snake: Please, since the curse of God upon him, he has told all of his offsprings to make sure they evacuate any kind of attitude which relates to deceit.

Hunter: Hmm, I see! Well, what do you want me to help you with? Asked the hunter!

Snake: I only want one thing from you.(Said the the snake)

Hunter: And what is that?(Said the hunter)

Snake: I want you to open your mouth so that I could slide into your stomach and I will be safe from the Hyenas, just for them to pass by.

Hunter: How would you slide through my mouth into my stomach because, as you could see, i have a very small stomach and you could damage my lungs.

Snake: No, but you are so powerful. According to the history, i overheard from other animals here in the forest.

Hunter: Hmm, okay I will help you.

Snake: Please, be fast, as you can see the Hyenas are almost here! as you can hear their sound.(Hyenas sound)

Hunter: (He performed a magic trick and suddenly his mouth became wider that the Snake entered down into his stomach and as soon as the snake got inside, it became smaller).

(The running from a far distance coming towards the Hunter with there winkle sounds)

Hyenas: (As soon as they got to the Hunter they stopped) They ask if the hunter sees a big snake passing by…..(they ask with fear because they also know what the hunter can do)

Hunter: Well, my target is the Lion! not you mere silly animal chasing snake up and down. I did not see the snake, maybe it might have dodge into the deep forest. Then he showed them a path with his right hands and then scrubbed his right hand over his stomach.

Hyenas: (All of them run that way, but one of them was a little bit wise). He says, I can see the hunter scrubbing his hand over his stomach. Could it had been that the hunter has already kill the snake and have eaten it before we got there or what do you think?

Female Hyena: Yes, i was also thinking the same because the hunter stomach look as if he just finish eating and also that do happen when she got pregnant.(All hyenas laugh)

Hyenas: Since, we’ve searched and we did not see the snake we better go hunting.
(So the Hyenas went hunting…..)

Hunter: Hey Snake, your enemy just went their way and you are now free to come out.

Snake: What did you just say?

Hunter: You hear what have just said, I say come out.

Snake: (He laughed) have found a new home now, no one will ever disturb me here and if you don’t give me food on time, I don’t think i have choice than to eat all that is in here…………….

Hunter: Do you forget you made a promise and have done my part.

Snake: That is why I am wiser than you hunter,(said the snake) why could you let me into this precious home? He touch his kidney

Hunter: (He shouts in pain) How could you do this to me? Have already saved you from the hyenas.

Snake: I could have climbed the palm tree before the Hyenas got here but i was just checking to know if you are wise enough to get my trick…

Hunter: He began to shout for help..

(Then he saw a big Tiger caged)

Hunter:(He walks toward the Tiger cage)

Tiger: Hmmmm, why should a wild hunter like you be in agony and pain such as your situation. (Proudly Tiger walking majestically) Could it have been that you fought a wild animal and got hurt, hmmmmmm No, there are no traces of mark or pinch on you because the last time I saw you. You were battling with the cheetah, so hunter what is the problem or are you sick?

Hunter: No, it was the snake he tricked me and got inside of me. Can you please get him out of me..
(Snake is already sleeping)

Tiger: As you can see I am caged and also if I get my hand inside of you, you are already dead with my sharp hand. But I could figure something out if you can free me!

Hunter: I will try my possible best because I’m losing strength and hope you won’t just kill me straight away.

Tiger: hunhun… I’m not as cowardly as the snake but won’t promise you either, all I know is that I will figure something out and the snake will be out of you. Here you have to help me so that I can help you too….

Hunter: He managed to lose the cage so the Tiger could get out.

Tiger: Where is the snake?

Hunter: It’s inside of me.

Tiger: Then I will have to eat you both but to have a nice meal, I will have to separate you first.

Hunter: But!!!!!!!!

Tiger: Let’s get started…. Open your mouth, hey snake, how are you doing there?

Snake: (Wakedup) Who’s that?

Tiger: (Roar)

Snake: That must be Tiger, hey tiger how are you doing? I just got a nice home here with a nice meal, don’t worry I will pass some part of the meal out to you.

Tiger: (Laugh) Come out let’s talk because I’m gonna eat this hunter right now and your tail will be disturbing me while eating, come out and I shall spare your life.

Snake: Okay, hold on, let me cut a liver here. Am coming…..

Tiger: If you dare take anything there I shall not spare your life anymore and if you eat and I discover, as you know I don’t eat meat with snakes. I will kill you and feed you to the hyenas.

Snake: What! Hyenas, they are the one that got me here…

Tiger: Really? Come Out and give me the full gist while I am eating the hunter..

Snake: tell the Hunter to perform his magic so I can get out of here.. After’all, he will die once I am out and moreover I will watch him die.

Hunter:(He has lose so much strength) He tried to get up and then perform his magic so the snake start coming out and as his neck got out of the hunters mouth (the tiger grab his neck and drag him out then eat it)

Tiger: Hey Hunter, how could you get such a big snake into your stomach and despite your power you can’t force him out..

Hunter: Sober, he couldn’t respond.

Tiger: Well, I am full already. I would have eaten yours too but we will see another and make sure you leave the forest as soon as possible because i mercy you today others might not..
So the Tiger went his way and so did the Hunter…
