Once upon a time, in the forest, there lived an orphaned bunny and
an orphaned snake. By 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 you've helped me." So
the bunny felt the snake all over, and remarked, "Well, you're scaly
and smooth, and you have a forked tongue, no backbone and no
balls. I'd say you must be either an accountant, or possibly
someone in senior management."
