# Why Snakes Eat RatsOnce, the snake and the rat were close friends, though the snake possessed greater wealth. The cunning rat suggested they should enjoy the snake's property together, promising they would acquire more afterwards. After consuming all the snake's goods, the rat proposed they travel to another country. Before departing, the rat ate a hearty breakfast but convinced the snake to skip his meal, falsely claiming their destination was nearby and food would be plentiful on the journey. As they traveled a much longer road than promised, the snake grew increasingly hungry and angry, watching the well-fed rat continue without fatigue. When the rat attempted to make excuses, the enraged snake swallowed him whole. This profound betrayal of friendship transformed these once-allies into bitter enemies, which is why snakes never allow rats to escape whenever they have the opportunity to swallow them.https://mythopia.io/story/703/the-betrayal-of-trust-how-the-snake-and-rat-became-eternal-enemies​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
