In a tree faraway in the jungle lived a snake called Zar. Under the tree grew many kinds of beautiful flowers. One day, as he was sitting on the tree, he looked at the flowers below the tree. ‘I wonder what they smell like,’ he thought. But Zar felt too lazy to slither all the way down, so he wrapped his tail around the branch and dangled down. Now he could smell them. But they tickled his nose and Zar sneezed terribly. What a big sneeze it was! As he sneezed, he lost his balance and fell out of the tree, squashing the flowers! A bee which was sitting on the flowers got very angry. He angrily chased Zar all the way back up the tree again. Zar decided that it was best to admire flowers from far away than to come near them.
