成語故事英語：The Monkey and the Snake (猴子和蛇的故事)
Once upon a time, a monkey and a snake lived in the same forest. The monkey was clever and always found ways to solve problems. On the other hand, the snake was cunning and always tried to trick others.
One day, the monkey and the snake were playing together when the snake tried to trick the monkey into eating some poisonous fruit. However, the monkey quickly realized the snake's plan and refused.
Later, the monkey and the snake fell into a disagreement over something else. The snake decided to try to harm the monkey in order to win back his favor. This time, the monkey was not fooled and defended himself using his agility and intelligence. He easily defeated the snake and showed his resilience and resourcefulness.
From that day on, the monkey gained a reputation for his cleverness and resourcefulness, while the snake realized his mistakes and learned from his experience.
This story teaches us that we should always be wary of those who try to deceive us or harm us, and that we should rely on our own abilities and resources to solve problems.
