There was a woman who had a snake as a pet, a python which she loved so much.

The snake was 4 meters long and looked healthy. However, one day it just stopped eating. The desperate woman tried everything she could and offered anything that a snake would like. Still, the snake seemed ignorant and refused to eat. Finally, the woman took her loving pet to the vet as a last resort.

The vet listened to the story carefully and then asked the woman whether the snake sleeps with her at night, wraps around her, and whether it tends to spread out throughout its length.

Being happy to hear that, the woman gave a positive reply. She further explained that it looks like the snake asks for something, but she is unable to help and make it feel better.

Then, the vet said something shocking. Namely, the python wasn’t sick but it has been preparing to eat her instead!

As he explained, each time the snake used to creep and wrap around the lady`s body, it was actually checking her size and weighing how a great meal she was and how prepared it has to be prior the attack. Speaking of the reason for its refusal to eat, it was actually making enough space so that it is easier to swallow and digest its next meal (the lady herself).

In brief, the moral of this story is that sometimes it is difficult to identify the nearby snake and its true intention. Namely, just because someone “close” is hugging and kissing you doesn’t necessarily means that his intentions are good. As the story suggests, you may be taken aback by his true intention!

On the way to work one morning
Down the path along side the lake
A tender hearted woman
Found a poor half-frozen snake

His pretty colored skin
Had been all frosted with the dew
"Poor thing" she cried, "I'll take you in
Aand I'll take care of you."

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

She wrapped him up all cozy
In a comforter of silk
And laid him by the fireside
With some honey and some milk

She hurried home from work that night
And as soon as she arrived
She found that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived.

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

She clutched him to her bosom
"You're so beautiful" she cried
"But if I hadn't brought you in by now you might have died."

Well she stroked his pretty skin again
And kissed him really tight,
Instead of saying thanks,
the snake gave her a vicious bite.

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

"I saved you!" cried the woman
"And you've bitten me but why?"
"You know your bite is poisonous
And now I'm gonna die."

"Ha shut up, silly woman."
Said that reptile with a grin.
"You knew darn well I was a snake before you took me in."

Take me in tender woman
Take me in for heaven's sake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake

Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake
Take me in tender woman
Sighed the Snake.

Except in this case (and what makes the story so fitting for dxp),

the lady knew it was a goddamned snake, and expected it would

change its nature... for her, because she foolishly (stupidly)

loved it so much.



You've outdone yourself, astrobyn.

I like snakes! Reptiles are pretty neat critters when you study them.
