A cryptic dialogue contrasts two figures, a Viper and a Leech, over intention and harm. The Leech argues that praise and enmity depend on perceived benefit, while the Viper suggests bite and cure can blur motives. The exchange probes gratitude toward those who hurt with intent versus those who do good but with malice.

In bitter winter, John Neacon plans to start a singing school but discovers a widow with five children in need.
