A snake and a rabbit were racing along a pair of
intersecting forest pathways one day, when they
collided at the point where the pathways meet.
They immediately began to argue with one another
as to who was at fault for the mishap. When the
snake remarked that he had been blind since
birth, and thus should be given additional
leeway, the rabbit said that he, too, had been
blind since birth. The two animals then forgot
about the collision and began commiserating
concerning the problems of being blind. The snake
said that his greatest regret was the loss of his
identity. He had never been able to see his
reflection in water, and for that reason did not
know exactly what he looked like, or even what he
was. The rabbit declared that he had the same
problem.
Seeing a way that they could help each other,
the rabbit proposed that one feel the other from
head to toe, and then try to describe what the
other animal was. The snake agreed, and started
by winding himself around the rabbit. After a
few moments, he announced, 'You've got very soft,
fuzzy fur, long ears, big rear feet, and a little
fuzzy ball for a tail. I think that you must be a
bunny rabbit!' The rabbit was much relieved to
find his identity, and proceeded to return the
favor to the snake. After feeling about the
snake's body for a few minutes, he asserted,
'Well, you're scaly, you're slimy, you've got
beady little eyes, you squirm and slither all
the time, and you've got a forked tongue.
I think you're a lawyer!'
