There is a strange thing about Ireland – no snakes live there. There are snakes in England and Scotland and Wales, the countries of Great Britain. But there are no snakes on the island of Ireland. There is a very old story about this. Long ago – in about the year 400 AD – a holy man came to Ireland. He was Saint Patrick. He came to teach the people about Christianity. At that time, there were many snakes in Ireland. Saint Patrick quickly destroyed all the snakes except one. The saint could not catch this clever old snake. So Patrick made a beautiful box and he showed it to the old snake. He invited the snake to look inside the box. The snake got into the box and Saint Patrick quickly shut the lid. Then he threw the box and the snake into the sea. So now people say that there are no snakes in Ireland because Saint Patrick killed all of them. But this story not about Patric it is about indian student Harkishan Ram Lai who haы to work to earn money for studying. He decided to work as a builder, but his foremaster is hard and cruel man who doesn’t like foreignersю
