The Cunning Snake and King Shlomo's Wisdom 🐍✨ | TORAH FOR KIDS AI

Hello children. Do you remember that King Schlommo could understand the language of animals? Today we're going to tell you a wonderful story about a man and a big snake and how they even ended up in King Schlommo's court. Once upon a time, a man was walking through a wide, sunlit field, holding a jug of cold, sweet milk that he wanted to enjoy on that hot and difficult day. The sun beamed down on his head, the light sparkled on the wheat, and a gentle [music] breeze brushed the wild flowers. But suddenly, he heard strange sounds and whispers of [music] someone in pain. a cry that floated through the air. The man looked around and saw a big snake writhing on the hot sand, hissing and shouting as if in great distress. The man who was wise and could understand the language of snakes approached calmly and asked, "What's wrong, snake? Why are you twisting around and crying like that? The snake replied in a trembling voice, [music] >> "I am very thirsty. I haven't had a drink for a long time, and this heat is almost choking me. If I don't find water soon, I won't survive." >> The man looked at the jug of milk in his hand, and the snake, curious, [music] asked, >> "And what do you have in that jug?" Cold sweet milk," answered the man. >> "If you let me drink from [music] it," >> said the snake, >> "I will show you a secret place where a great and amazing treasure is hidden." >> Filled with curiosity, the man [music] poured some milk for the snake. The snake drank it gratefully, quenching its [music] thirst, and smiled. The generous man then asked, "Now show me the treasure." The snake began writhing across the sand, and the man ran after it full of excitement and anticipation. They reached a giant stone buried in the sand. The snake whispered, "Beneath this stone lies a treasure of gold and silver." The man thrilled bent down and started moving the stone and digging. And soon enough he indeed [music] found the sparkling treasure. The man happily took the treasure, but suddenly the tricky snake leapt at him, coiling around his neck and almost choking him. The frightened man shouted, "What's happening? Why are you choking me after I gave you milk and saved you? The snake answered, feigning innocence. >> This treasure is mine. You have no right to take it. >> The man realized he had no choice but to go [music] to King Schlommo, the wise judge, for a fair decision. Using all his strength, he reached the king's palace. People quickly stepped aside in awe when they saw a man with a big snake wrapped around his neck. The man and the snake entered the courtroom and he told [music] the entire story from start to finish, trembling but hopeful. King Schlommo nodded thoughtfully and turned to the snake. Why do you want to harm the man who helped you and gave [music] you a drink? The tricky snake trying to justify itself said, >> "It is written in the Torah, and you shall strike his heel. I [music] am only following the law." >> Schlommo smiled wisely and said, "First, you must [music] release his neck. Every case must be judged fairly, and both sides must stand before the judge." The snake immediately let go of the man and stood aside. Then the king turned to the man and said wisely, "Did you hear what the snake said?" Indeed, the Torah allows a snake to bite [music] the heel, but you are allowed to strike its head first, as it is written, and you shall strike its head." The man understood the ruling and immediately struck the snake on its head, killing it. In this way, he rightfully received the treasure that was his, and the tricky, ungrateful snake received its just punishment. And what can we learn from this story, children? Sometimes someone might promise you an easy treasure in exchange [music] for a small favor. Always be careful and wise about who you give your kindness to. Another important lesson. Kindness should always go hand in hand with wisdom. Giving and helping others is wonderful, but without thinking carefully, it's easy to [music] fall into traps. When there's a disagreement or conflict, turn to someone wise and righteous who can judge fairly according to the Torah, just like King Schlommo did. And finally, those who repay good with evil will eventually be punished, just like our tricky, ungrateful snake. >> [music] >> Beacious.
