Once Upon A Time
Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there lived a blind little bunny and a blind little snake. One day, while the bunny was hopping along and the snake was slithering along, the bunny tripped over the snake and fell down. This, of course, knocked the snake around 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, I don’t even 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. Tell you what, maybe I could kinda slither over you, and figure out what you are, so at least you’ll know a little more about yourself.”
“Oh, that would be wonderful,” replied the bunny. So the snake slithered all over the bunny. “Well,” the snake reported, “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,” cried the bunny in obvious excitement. In gratitude, the bunny then suggested to the snake, “maybe I could feel you with my paws, and help you the same way you’ve helped me.” The snake happily agreed.
So the bunny felt the snake all over, and reported his findings: “Well, you’re scaly and smooth, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I’d say you must be either a Republican politician, a corporate attorney, or possibly someone in upper management.”
