Pearl Necklace

Once a snake entered the house of an old woman, who was staying alone. She was frightened and cried for help. A few of her neighbours came and killed the snake. Instead of throwing away the dead snake, the old woman kept it on the roof of her house. A kite flying overhead spotted the dead snake. In its beak it had a pearl necklace which it had picked up from somewhere. It came to the snake, dropped the necklace there and flew away with the dead snake. The next day when the old woman saw a shining object on her roof, she managed to get it with a pole. She was astonished to find the pearl necklace
