It was exactly on a Sunday like this that a snake approached him charmed by the sweet melody and started dancing to its rhythm.At first he was scared by the serpent but then he found it amusing and went on playing while the snake was dancing. When the snake got tired it left him a bag full of golden coins to thank him. The astounded man narrated the incident to his wife and they both blessed God for their good luck.
