SNAKE & BUNNY
Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there
lived
an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. A
surprising
coincidence was that both were blind from Birth.
One day, the bunny was hopping through the forest,
and
the snake was slithering through the forest, when
the
bunny tripped over the snake and fell down. This,
of
course, knocked the snake about quite a bit.
"Oh, my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry. I
didn't mean to hurt you. I've been blind since
birth,
so, I can't see where I'm going. In fact, since
I'm
also an orphan, I don't ev en know what I am."
"It's quite okay," replied the snake. "Actually,
my
story is much the same as yours. I, too, have
been
blind since birth, and also never knew my mother.
Tell you what, maybe I could kinda slither over
you,
and figure out what you are, so at least you'll
have
that going for you."
"Oh, that would be wonderful," replied the bunny.
So
the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said,
"Well, you're covered with soft fur; you have
really
long ears; your nose twitches; and you have a soft
cottony tail. I'd say that you must be a bunny."
"Oh, thank you! Thank you," crie d the bunny in
total
joy.
Then the bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I
could
feel you with my paw, and help you the same way
you've
helped me."
So the bunny felt the snake all over and remarked,
"Well, you are smooth, cold, and you have a forked
tongue, no backbone and no balls. I'd say you
must
be
either a politician, an attorney, or possibly
someone
in upper management."
