The bunny and the snake

[Gingermick]

Once upon a time, 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 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 testicles. I'd say you must be
either a team leader, supervisor or possibly someone in senior management."
