Snake and Moon

Having seen the moon, the Snake was filled with bitterness.
“You are shining in the clear sky and you may hide your radiance not. But I’m hiding myself in ground and rocks, fearing to be noticed,” she said with envy. “Console yourself,” said the Nightingale to the Snake while sitting at the safe distance. “The moon shines by another’s light, but your envy, though poisonous, has its own nature.”
