Blind Bunny Meets Blind Snake
Το Tυφλό λαγουδάκι
A snake and a rabbit were racing along a pair of intersecting forest pathways one day
O coelhinho tropeça numa cobra e logo justifica: — Desculpe! É que eu não te vi porque sou cego! — Não tem problema! — ameniza a cobra. — Eu também não te vi. Também sou cega. Que tipo de animal é...
"That's perfectly all right," replied the snake. "It was MY fault. I didn't mean to trip you, but I'm blind too, and I didn't see you coming. By the way, what kind of animal are you?"
"Well, I really don't know," said the bunny. "Since I'm blind, I've never seen myself. Perhaps you could examine me and then we'll both know?"
So the snake felt the bunny all over and said, "Well, you're soft and cuddly; you have long silky ears, a fluffy little tail and a twitchy little nose... you must be a bunny rabbit!"
The little blind bunny was so pleased with this that he danced with joy.
The bunny said, "I can't thank you enough. What kind of animal are you, sir?"
The snake said he didn't know, for the same reason.
The bunny agreed to examine him, and when he finished the snake asked, "So, what kind of animal am I?"
The bunny said, "You're hard, you're cold, you're slimy, and you haven't got any ваlls. You must be a lawyer."
