On the way in tonight, I heard a rustling in the undergrowth. I stood still and listened. Then I saw a young snake slither up to its mother and ask, "mommy, are we the kind of snakes that bite our prey and poison them, or do we wrap ourselves around them and crush them?"

"Well, dear," replied his mother, "we are the kind that wrap ourselves around our prey and crush them. Why do you ask?"

"Whew! Thank goodness for that - I just fell out of a tree and bit my tongue."
