The Eagle , Frog , & Flying Snake

Many years ago in a Amazon forest dwelled a snake who biggest desire was to fly above the clouds . He would look at the birds of the sky and say" how I would love to fly like the birds of the sky " One day a frog over heard the snake say" I want to fly " and as he heard him , he continue hopping along. As the months pass that desire didn't left the snake but grew stronger. He was determine to fly. The snake one day climbed up a tree, grab some vines with leaves and tie them to himself then he threw himself off the tree in hope that he would fly but he went straight smack down to the ground . Hurt , ashamed that it didn't work , dizzy and in pain, he slithered away. While all the animals in the forest laughed at the snake. As the frog looked at what happened he couldn't laugh with the other animals but admired the snake persistence in trying to achieve his dream. And he said to himself " I believe he will one day achieve this or die trying but for sure he will not give up. " Some months later the snake became very hungry and was out searching for food . And at the pond was Mr frog sleeping on a lily pad. Before he could wake up he was swallowed whole by Mr snake. As he opened his eyes all he could see was the darkness of night in the belly of the snake. And he yelled "where am I". "In my belly" said Mr snake. At that he recognized the voice to be that of Mr snake. "Let's make a deal , I know how you could fly , but you need to vomit me out " At hearing this Mr snake vomited the frog out of his mouth . And said" you have a deal but you double cross me and back you go " Now the frog had to think fast and wisely because he knew more than ever the Snake was no friend , that one could admire his persistence in not giving up his goal to fly , but a enemy that if he would help him achieve his goal, would later on try to eat him or someone he loved. So the frog told the snake "bite this piece of branch that fell off the tree and follow me." So the snake followed the frog with the piece of branch in his mouth. The snake slithered, the frog hopped till they came to a large mountain. Then the frog said " we now have to climb " So they climb the immense mountain till they reached close to the top where there was a nest of an eagle with eggs ready to be hatched. "Put down the branch and swallow the eggs." The snake replied if I swallow the eggs how will that make me fly ." The frog reply "they are magical eggs and they will make you fly like an eagle." As the snake started to swallowed each egg, the frog heard the eagle approaching and hid in the branch . The Eagle saw from the distance the snake swallowing her eggs and she grabbed the snake in such speed that could only be compared to a flash of light and flew with the snake holding him by her claws . The snake looked down and saw himself flying over the clouds and was amazed that the eggs was magical indeed that it cause him to fly . And as he was filled with joy that finally his dream came true the eagle let go. And the snake fell straight down to ground with a great smack to the floor. Dead at arrival. So the moral of the story is there are times where our dreams or desires might do us more harm than good. So it is good to be happy in the state that you're in than to have what you want and that cause you your doom.

Genesis 30:1

Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I die!”

Genesis 35:16-19

Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor. Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; you will have this son also.”And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin. So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
