　"Poor thing," the man said, "I must try to save your life."

　 "He picked it up. He tried to look for a warm place to put it in.

　But how to find one in such cold weather? So he decided to put the snake inside his clothes. He made the snake right nest(巢、窝)to his heart.

　A few minutes later, the snake came back to life and began to move.

　Soon it became strong enough. So it gave the man a deadly bite.

　He killed it and went on. When he got back, he was very ill and had to lie down.

　He knew he was dying.
