The Shepherd and the Snake (4x2)

Air date: May 08, 1991

A shepherd boy saves the Snake King's son from the death by fire and in his thankfulness the Snake King presents him. He has two choices: either he understands the speech of the animals or he gets a bag full of money. The boy is thinking it over. Both of the options would be good but he will not have the possibility to understand the speech of the animals another time. So he chooses this option. Shortly it turns out that he has chosen well because after eavesdropping on a conversation of two little birds he finds a big bowl full of money and he gets the wealth as well.
