Guilty of acting like a snake

When I was young, there was a very famous story of a man who was out for work and he saw a snake, curled up, hungry, worn out and cold. He took the snake home. He took really good care of him , fed him, made him warm in front of a fireplace, let his kids play with the snake. But suddenly he saw that the snake was trying to bite his kids, the farmer got angry and killed the snake.

I don’t exactly remember the moral of the story, because only thing we learn in our school is to be nice to everyone, good or bad, irrespective of the way he/she treats u. May be the purpose of the story was to tell us that there are some people who wont repay us for our good deeds, and that they will still look for opportunities to hurt us in any way possible, no matter how good we are too them.

And right now I am trying to understand the snake, why did he try to bite, when the farmer was really good to him … may be it’s a snake’s nature to bite. ........
