Question (or riddle) for March 23, 2003

I am not one of the three little pigs
but I lived in a house of twigs.

One of the three Hebrew boys, I'm not
though things around me got pretty hot.

But for losing my temper I paid a high cost
these three things, my home, my hand, my health I lost.

What or who am I?

Answer: Acts 28:1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was called Melita. 2 And the barbarous people showed us no little kindness: for they kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and because of the cold. 3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live. 5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
