The Grateful Serpent's Reward

An elderly woman's kindness brings gold and silver. A spirit snake arrives. A cruel daughter-in-law and greedy bullies mistreat her. Her kindness changes her fortune. The spirit snake offers healing medicine; evildoers reap what they sow; she shares fortune with village. When severely ill, the spirit snake risks heavenly punishment to save her with the Vermilion Healing Fruit. The village expresses gratitude for good karma.
