If Wrong can now be called Right... then I don’t see why this can’t happen! It’s no more strange than the what the obamanation has tried to put over the American people!

The hamster...like about 52% of US voters last November...will eventually discover that having befriended a snake was a big,BIG mistake.

So how does this work?
Is the snake now a vegetarian?
Does Gohan watch as his snake pal munches down Gohan's kin? ...
The snake becoming a vegan (or maybe just a bug eater) would make a happy ending ... but I don't think it works that way...

I know what happened. I took a look at the photo and I know what happened.

You see, Gohan is like the Chinese Philosopher Lao Tzu or Mencius or Sun Tzu. You see, they put him in the snake’s quarters and he quickly thought of a way to save himself by using philosophy.

He thought: A good traveller has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.
Maybe.

He thought: We live, not as we wish to, but as we can.
How true.

He thought: For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

And then: He who knows when he can fight and when he cannot, will be victorious.

And more: If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.

This came to him: Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.

And this: The opportunity to secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.

And he liked this one: The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Finally it came to him: You have to believe in yourself.

And so Gohan did. He believed in himself. He talked the snake into saving his life and thereby saving both their lives. The snake is now special because he didn’t eat the hamster and the hamster is special because he has a good memory of Chinese Philosophy.

End of story, not of tail.

Hamster’s probably been telling him some BS serialised story he’s making up on the spot. As long as he keeps the plot interesting the snake is going to keep him around to see what happens in the next episode.

We got a mouse for our corn snake last winter, and she wouldn’t eat it. We named it “Lunch,” and let her keep it as a pet for a few days, but it was so darned noisy, tearing up the papers and gnawing at the rocks, that we put it out in the woods for a hungry cat or coyote.
