Once upon a time, in a dawn very different from all others, something was not feeling well that day, it felt like something was out of the ordinary, and that something would happen that no one could imagine.

There was a little a little red snake who was very negative about everything, he did not have many friends as all of the other animals in the desert. He always kept on bragging about all he had, because he is one of the strongest animals in the whole desert so everyone respected him and most of all, they feared him. In the desert, there were only a couple of lakes filled with water, and the red snake was the “king” of that desert. The camel and the roadrunner, who were his neighbors, always tried and talk to him about his way of being, although he never listened and continued being the same. But a couple of days later, when all of the animals woke up everything changed, the whole desert was very devastated. All of the water was gone, the whole desert was dry and all of the animals were gone as well as the tourists that were staying in the desert. With all of the things that made their world gone, the red snake was getting weaker and weaker as the time went by, he tried to reach as far as he could but nothing, everything was gone. When the red snake was passing by, he sees that the camel and the roadrunner pretty far away. He reached the other side of the desert where he had seen his neighbors, and sees that the blue snake (the “king” of the other part of the desert) had saved a bunch of water for an emergency like this, because one of his friends had warned him. When the red snake realized that the “king” of the other side helped all of the animals that he could and that all of his life he had been a very bad person, selfish, and very irresponsible always thinking about himself.

He wanted to convince himself that he had been behaving wrong the whole time, so when he arrives to his lake he says to the blue snake: “Why should you help everyone else when you can have all that for yourself, and live for years”. The blue snake replied: “The nature acts by the way it must and that is not going to change, the nature of my being is to help, so why should it change?

And the moral is:

It is never late to change and realize which type of person is everyone, and what role do we want to play in our world.
