Hamsa the sister lived together, and their father was alive. It was the habit of their sisters to swim all the time, every morning and evening. This was their habit.
The First Encounter: One time she went to swim. She was swimming in a deep place. There was a small snake swimming. The small snake was the size of a frog and extremely beautiful. She approached swimming toward her, extended her hand, so the small snake bit the palm of her hand. She took it with her. When she reached the bank of the river, the snake cut some tree leaves and placed the small snake in them, then returned her clothes and took it with her to the house.
The Stray Snake in the House: She entered it to the house, took it to the place where her bed existed, and she said to herself: What will I do with it? Then she gathered the tree leaves completely and placed the stray snake on them, then she said to herself: What can I do now? Her father did not know the matter. She would go every evening to swim, then clean the stray snake. It grew and became big. The woman felt happiness when she saw it had grown quickly. The woman would continue to bring it food. She always fed it, and whenever she returned to the house, she cleaned it.
The Stray Snake Grows and Becomes Big: Her mother saw it one time, and she began having as if there was a knot in her head. She examined it closely, and indeed she saw two horns. She realized it had grown. She said: You will become pregnant, oh my stray snake… She was laughing when she saw it and had known the matter. Her older sister who had known the matter and their father said to her: What are you intending to do with it? She answered: I will sell it.
Trading the Snake: The two brothers began to shake and tremble until they reached the ceiling of the house. The girl said to her older brother: Remove these planks. Indeed, he removed them. The two brothers came out from the ceiling of the house. She was extremely beautiful when she had grown. The snake would coil around itself many times whenever it became agitated. The head would shake from the middle. It appeared that it was in every place.
The Snake and the Mouse: One morning the snake disappeared. The girl said: Where can it have gone? Suddenly, they heard a sound coming from the forest. Therefore, they went to look what was there. They saw before them the snake that had grown coming toward them from the valley. Thus, the small girl said to herself: Indeed, this is the stray snake that has grown! The snake was dragging a mouse. The small girl felt happiness when she saw the snake dragging the mouse to the house. The stray snake returned and rested in the place she used to rest in.
The Snake and the Whale: She went to the forest five times and brought many insects to the house. They were happy for the forest. They became rich and began buying their food. The two brothers of the snake came out from the ceiling of the house. It became apparent that the small girl had begun to fear from the stray snake that had grown.
Whenever the snake would disappear, the woman would ask herself: Where can the snake have gone? Suddenly, she saw a wind blowing above the water. She asked herself: What can the thing be that I see on the water? I have not seen in my life like this wind? Suddenly, she saw the snake swimming in the water? And its owner was a whale! The whale came to the girl. When the stray snake arrived, they cut the whale into pieces, and the snake returned again to where it rested.
Returning to the House: After the snake ate the much and much food and went to the house, and the people of the house obtained much meat and food from it, the people of the house became wealthy. The snake went to its old home, for it had gone to the valley of the river and had jumped to the village where she lived. That was that day.
