Once upon a time (allegedly) in a nice little forest, there lived an
orphaned
bunny and an orphaned snake. By a surprising coincidence, 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'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, since I'm
also
an orphan, I don't even know what I am." "It's quite OK," 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 slither
all over you, and work 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 rabbit." "Oh, thank you! Thank
you,"
cried the bunny, in obvious excitement. The bunny suggested to the snake,
"Maybe I could feel you all over with my paw, and help you the same way
that
you've helped me." So the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked,
"Well,
you're smooth and slippery, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and
no
balls. I'd say you must be French".
