Grateful snake revisits farmer who saved its life

A snake saved three years ago by a farmer in Guangxing village, Hubei province, recently returned to the farmer's house in what seemed to be an act of gratitude.

Li Jing, the farmer, was walking home from work one day in the winter of 2008, when he saw a small seriously injured snake lying next to the road. Li took the snake home and treated it.
