Story:

In ancient times, a man named Zhang was passing by a cliff when he saw a large snake, as thick as a bowl, swaying among the bushes, its tail breaking branches.

He observed closely and noticed a small mantis clinging to the giant snake's head, gripping its head firmly with its bayonet-like sharp forelegs.

No matter how much the big snake struggled, the mantis would not let go. Eventually, the big snake died.
