Once Upon a Time in the Forest
 
Once upon a time, in a nice little forest, there
lived an orphaned bunny and an orphaned snake.  As a
surprising coincidence, both were
blind from birth.  One day the bunny was hopping
through the forest, when the bunny tripped over the
snake and fell down, also knocking
the snake about quite a bit.
"Oh my," said the bunny, "I'm terribly sorry.  I
didn't mean to hurt you.  You see, I've been blind
since birth, so I can't see where I'm going,
and, in fact, since I'm also an orphan, don't even
know what I am."
"Quite okay," replied the snake.  "Actually, my
story is much the same as yours, as I am also blind
since birth, and never knew my mother.
Tell you what, maybe I could kinda slither over you,
and figure out what you are, so at least you'll have
that going for you.."
"Oh, that would be wonderful," said the bunny.
So the snake slithered all over the bunny, and said,
"Well, you're! a covered with soft fur, and you have
really long ears, and your nose
twitches, and you have a soft cottony tail.  I'd say
that you must be a bunny."
"Oh.  Thank you!" cried the bunny in obvious
excitement.
"Maybe I could feel you with my paw, and help you
the same way you helped me."  So the bunny felt the
snake all over, and said,  "Well
you're scaly and cold, you have a forked tongue, no
backbone and no balls. I'd say you must be a
politician or an attorney."
