After the Great Flood, as he let the animals off the ark , Noah told each pair, "Go forth and multiply", and he watched them depart into the distance.
In the following months he occasionally came across some of them again. He saw the bears, and they now had their cubs with them. The deer had fawns, the cattle had calves, the the geese were feeding their new goslings, the cats had a litter of kittens, and everywhere he went he saw young squirrels and frogs and sparrows.
But one day Noah found the snakes, and they were alone without offspring.
He asked them, " Can it be that you have no young? Why don't you multiply yourselves?"
The snakes answered "There used to be lots of fallen trees around here, but the flood washed them all away, and we haven't found any more yet."
"I don't understand," replied Noah. "Why do you want fallen trees?"
The snakes answered, "We're adders. We need logs to multiply."
