Old one, I know...
Once upon a time a snake and a bunny hopped and slithered in the
same forest. By an extraordinary coincidence, both were orphans,
and both had been blind from birth.
One day, as the snake was slithering through the forest and the
bunny was hopping through the forest, the bunny tripped over the
snake, and fell down "BUMP! Thump"! This upset the snake, and also
upset the bunny.
"Ow!" said the snake.
"Oh dear!" said Bunny. "I do hope you are not hurt too badly? I am
so sorry, but you see, I am a blind orphan, and I don't know where I
am. For that matter, since I never knew my mother, I don't even know
WHAT I am!"
And the bunny burst into tears.
"Don't cry!" exclaimed the snake. "No harm done ... and I quite
understand, for I am also a blind orphan who never knew his mother.
Tell you what! Let me slither all over you to find out what you are
like, and perhaps I will be able to tell you what are! You would
have that going for you, at least."
So the snake slithered and wriggled all over the little bunny.
Finally, he came to a decision.
"Well," said Snake, "you are covered all over with lovely soft fur;
you have a twitchy sort of nose; you have long floppy ears and a
cotton wool tail. My guess is: you're a bunny rabbit!"
"Oh, thank you!" said Bunny. "A rabbit! How lovely! May I do the
same for you?"
The snake consented, so Bunny felt him all over with his paws, and
sniffed him with his twitching nose. Finally, he came to a
decision.
"Well," said Bunny, "you are a slippery, slithery sort of creature;
you are completely legless; you are venomous, I think! You speak
with a forked tongue and you have no balls at all....
''You're a lawyer!"
