THE BUNNY AND THE SNAKE

Once upon a time (allegedly) in a nice little forest,
there lived an
orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake. By a surprising
coincidence, 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 even know what I am."

"It's quite OK," 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 slither all over you, and
work 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 rabbit."


"Oh, thank you! Thank you," cried the bunny, in obvious
excitement. The bunny suggested to the snake, "Maybe I
could feel you all over with my paw, and help you the
same way that you've helped me."

So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked,
"Well, you're smooth and slippery, and you have a
forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I'd say you
must be French"
