The Old Woman and the Snake: A Parable

Sign in to disble this ad
An old woman was walking down the road whan she saw a gang of thugs beating a poisonous snake. She rescued the snake and carried it back to her home, where she nursed it back to health. They became friends and lived together for many months. One day they were going into town and the old woman picked him up and the snake bit her. Repeatedly. "O God," she screamed, "I am dying! Why? I was your friend. I saved your life! I trusted you! Why did you bite me?"

The snake looked up at her and said, "Lady, you knew I was a snake when you first picked me up."

You know, thats what I thought when I first read this a couple of years ago. But I think the message is much deeper than that. Sorry, I've been slowly going emo over the last 4 years.

Venomous. Not poisonous.

Its not the old lady's business if a thug wants to beat his snake.

Perhaps this is the deeper meaning?

Well then it's wrong, and consequently, so are you.

meh, thats just my sense of humor. It doesn't always translate to message boards. I ensure you I meant it in the most endearing way possible.

Hey man, don't expect to come in and nazi the grammar in my thread without getting some kind of playful insult thrown your way. It could have been worse. I once called a guy a New Jersey Whitefish.

As an exotic pet owner I am actually incapale of not correcting people when they use incorrect terminology.

It's like watching a medical show with a doctor and having them point out everything the show got wrong. Annoying as hell but I can't stop myself.
