Hiss Don't Bite/Phuss Kar, Mitra, Pan Chavoon Nakos (Marathi)

The children of a village take the cows to graze in a forest, where they love to play under a large, shady banyan tree. One day, a bad-tempered snake who lives under the tree bites a cow, and the children become afraid. The snake too is unhappy — until he learns the secret of life from a wandering monk. The folktale from Bengal has pictures adapted from the Kalighat style of painting.
