A two-year-old girl is found in the desert by a snake woman. A child, bundled up from the heat, would have died without help, finding himself in a tent with his dead parents, wanderers in the desert. Avada is raised in a cave with her snake sisters. The snake woman takes care of the foundling girl. The plot is reminiscent of Mowgli. The matured girl first runs away from the snake family. Then Avada, unlike Mowgli, returns to the cave and does not strive for people. Raised by a monster, she soon turns into a monster herself. He can easily kill and cruelly deceive. But she remains selflessly devoted to her snake mother and sister snakes. The story allegorically refers to ethical issues of education. The author invites readers to reflect on the importance of the environment in which a child develops and is raised. How is it possible that a person can grow into a monster by way of thinking? And vice versa, with proper care, proper upbringing and education, full-fledged individuals develop.
