Pendant ETNO P "Aušliavis"

The second function of snakes is friendship with children. Snakes slept with children in the same bed, ate from one vessel, played together. If any child had smitten the serpent, the serpent did not avenge him.

The third function is the administration of justice. No harm was given to snakes. A popular saga motif, like a snake losing eggs laid in a barn, poisons a pot of milk, but when it sees the eggs returned, it turns the pot over.
