Title ideas:
Snakes Secret [sin]
Secret sins?

Snake* was never satisfied. One morning he yelled at his wife, “Wife, I’m tired of your cooking! I will leave and find something better.”
[*use whatever name or word is natural in your language. Use it for the entire story.]

His wife said [warned], “Be careful, my husband. Your wisdom ceases [stops] where your stomach starts [begins].”

Snake left his wife and came to a house. Inside he heard the sound of a chicken clucking. [Make chicken noise.] He thought, “Aaahh! What a splendid sound for a starving snake!”

“Yes yes! I like what I see here! A fresh new egg! Just what my hungry stomach wants.”

“No one will discover me! I will eat to my heart’s delight [as much as I want].”

With the egg inside his stomach, Snake squeezed through the fence. When he was going through the fence, the egg broke [crack!] and filled his empty stomach with its warm contents. “Aaah, such a nice feeling. This meal is delicious!”

Day by day [every day], Snake continued stealing eggs from the chicken house. But one day, he left too slowly and was seen by Mister Farmer*.
[*Use whatever name is natural in your language.]

Mister Farmer had an idea. He put one of Chicken’s* fresh eggs in some hot water and boiled it until it was solid.
[*Chicken – use whatever name or word is natural in your language]

Later, Mister Farmer exchanged one of Chicken’s new, good eggs for the hard-boiled egg. He hid himself and waited for Snake to return.

The following morning, Snake felt hungry again. He thought, “Ahh...I need some breakfast! I know a great place to get a free meal!”

Snake straight away went in and swallowed the egg in seconds. He thought. “Taking these eggs is so easy. No one will ever find out.”

But today, Snake’s sin found him out. As he went through the hole, he thought the egg would break and spill its contents into his stomach as usual.
“What! This egg doesn’t break! I am stuck!”

Suddenly, Mister Farmer appeared from behind the fence, ready to bring justice to Snake’s sin [wrongdoings].

Snake panicked and his mind screamed at himself, “Today I have been discovered! I should’ve taken my wife’s advice.”

Snake believed that he could always steal eggs. In the end, Snake learned the difficult way what the Bible teaches:
”Listen! [Know for certain], your sins will be discovered; there are no secret sins! [sins cannot remain hidden or secret]”

“You see, my children, he didn’t listen. He thought it was safe. But cheating is not safe for snakes ... and it’s not safe for people either. Sooner or later you will have to pay.”
The price for sin is death!

... However, God’s free gift is eternal LIFE in Jesus Christ.
Jesus came to suffer the price [cost] for our sins (stealing, hating, cheating, killing, lying, drunkenness, witch craft, cursing, immorality [playing sex with people you are not married to], anger, etc.) so that if we believe in Jesus, we can have LIFE.

“If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and there is no truth in us. But if we confess [admit] our sins to God, He will ... forgive us our sins and purify us from all our wrongdoing.”

So you! What path will you follow today? [The path for] Wisdom or [the path for] foolishness?
