Okay. On her way to work one morning, down the

path along the lake, a tender-hearted woman

saw a poor, half-frozen snake. His pretty-colored

skin had been all frosted with the dew. "Oh

well," she cried, "I'll take you in and I'll

take care of you." "Take me in, oh tender woman,

take me in, for heaven's sake. Take me in, oh

tender woman," sighed the broken snake. She

wrapped him up all cozy in a curvature of silk,

then laid him by the fireside with some honey

and some milk. Now she hurried home from work

that night, as soon as she arrived, she found

that pretty snake she'd taken in had been revived.

"Take me in, oh tender woman, take me in, for

heaven's sake. Take me in, oh tender woman,"

sighed the broken snake. Now she clutched him

to her bosom, "You're so beautiful," she cried.

"But if I hadn't brought you in by now, you

certainly would have died." Now she stroked

his pretty skin and then she kissed and held

him tight. But instead of saying thank you,

that snake gave her a vicious bite. "Take me

in, oh tender woman, take me in, for heaven's

sake. Take me in, oh tender woman," sighed the

vicious snake. "I saved you, I saved you, I

saved you," cried that woman. "And you've bit

me, heaven's why?

You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm

going to die." "Oh, shut up, silly woman," said

the reptile with a grin, "You knew damn well

I was a snake before you took me in."
