The Blind Bunny And Snake

[iweiny]

Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there lived a blind little bunny

and a blind little snake.

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, 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 kind of 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," cried the bunny in obvious excitement.

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're scaly and smooth, 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."
