A #tale about a #warrior in need - part 3

The little warrior went closer, bent forward, showed his neck.

"Interesting", the snake said," I doubt the lizard shot at you and I have doubts too if saving you is a good thing to do. We already have plenty of liars around here."

He thought it might be wiser to answer instead of keeping his mouth shut and think. The snake was able to read his mind and his thoughts were seldom friendly.
"Sorry I lied about being shot", the warrior said," I tried to get into the lizard cave, but it was not as simple as I thought, I did not fit in. I got stuck, the splinter took me by surprise and after that the lizard did beat me out of it with a piece of wood. It did not really hurt, but the splinter does."

"Well it is out of my hands," the snake said," as you see I have no hands of my own, I believe it is better to ask someone else to give you a hand. The lizard for example or the little monkey. If it stays in there you will seriously get ill. It looks like a piece of Acacia wood to me. We better ask someone to go over there. I assume you are not in the mood to crawl over to lizard or little monkey"?
" Thanks for helping me out", the warrior said," do you mind if Iay down for a while? I don't feel so great at all."
"Be my guest," the snake said, "I can't say you look like a great warrior to me." What he whispering next the warrior didn't hear, but a large bird did and flew away.
