One morning a blind bunny was hopping down the bunny trail,and he tripped over a large snake and fell,KerPlop!Right on his twitchy little nose。“Oh,please excuse me!”said the bunny。“I don't mean to trip over you,but I'm blind and can't see。”
“That's perfectly all right。”replied the snake。“To be sure,it is my fault。I don't mean to trip you,but I'm blind too,and I don't see you coming。By the way,what kind of animal are you?”
“Well,I really don't know。”said the bunny。“I'm blind,and I've never seen myself。Maybe you could examine me and find out。”So the snake felt the bunny all over,and he said,“Well,you're soft,and cuddly,and you have long silky ears,and a little fluffy tail and a dear twitchy little nose……You must be a bunny rabbit!”Then he said,“I can't thank you enough,but by the way,what kind of animal are you?”
And the snake replied that he didn't know,and the bunny agreed to examine him,and when he finished,the snake said,“Well,what kind of an animal am I?”
So the bunny felt the snake all over and he replied,“You're hard,you're cold,you're slimy and you haven't got any balls……You must be a lawyer。”
一天上午,一只瞎兔子从兔子轨道上跳了下来,它被一条大蛇绊倒了,啪!蛇正好打在兔子的鼻子上。“噢!请原谅我吧!”兔子说,“我不是有意的,我眼睛瞎了,看不见。”
“没关系,没关系,”蛇回答道。“确切地说,这是我的错。我也不是有意绊倒你的,我眼睛也瞎了,没有看到你过来。对了,你是什么动物呀?”
“我还真不知道,”兔子说,“我眼睛瞎了,也从没看到过自己。或许你能检查一下,看我到底是什么动物。”蛇把兔子全身摸了一遍,说:“你很软,很招人喜欢,你的耳朵很光滑很长,你的尾巴很小,毛绒绒的,鼻子有点敏感……你肯定是一只小兔子!”兔子说:“太感谢了!对了,你是什么动物呀?”
蛇说他也不知道,兔子同意也帮他检查,检查过后,蛇问:“我是什么动物呀?”
兔子把蛇的全身摸了一遍,说:“你全身很硬,很冷,很滑,你也没有脚……你肯定是个律师。”
