> 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 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".
