The Snake and The Bunny
Once upon a time, 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 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 a congressmen.
