A snake had the misfortune to be blind, and although he managed to forage successfully, he was very lonely. So he was delighted to make the acquaintance of a little mole--which was very nearly blind as such creatures are -- who offered to be his friend.
They got together almost every day, and finally the snake mustered up his courage to ask the mole a question. "We have become dear friends, and yet I have no idea what you look like" he pointed out. "Would you mind if I coiled myself around you very gently so I could get an image of you?"
"Not at all." replied the mole graciously, and soon found himself in the center of a mountain of snake.
"Why, you are soft and furry, with a pointy little nose surrounded by bristly whiskers! Could it be that you are a mole?" hissed the snake.
"I am, indeed." answered the mole. "And you--you are cold and slimy and are covered with scales and have no balls."
"Sssssshit!" hissed the snake, "I must be a lawyer."
