A fable
A sweet little fable......
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 am terribly sorry. I did not mean to hurt you. I have been blind since birth, so, I can not see where I am going. In fact, since I am also an orphan, I do not even know what I am."
"It is 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 kind of slither over you, and figure out what you are, so at least you will 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 are covered with soft fur; you have really long ears; your nose twitches; and you have a soft cottony tail. I would 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 have helped me." So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked, "Well, you are scaly and smooth, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no balls. I would say you must be a politician, attorney, or possibly someone in upper management."
