THE RIB AND THE SNAKE

They’ve been walking together since the beginning of time. They share knowledge and understanding between fables and stories


THE RIB AND THE SNAKE The rib: -There’s something I don’t understand... The snake: -What don’t you understand?

The rib: Why did you tempt the man with an apple? The snake:

-What apple?

The rib: -That one, the one in the story. The snake:

-Ahh! No, it wasn’t an apple, it was a rat.

The rib: -A rat!!


THE SNAKE

THE RIB

-Yes, as far as I know about the history and religion of my kind; The first serpent asked the man for help to climb up so that he could catch food, this first man, seeing that the serpent longed very much for the rat, climbed in despair and tried to eat it, He tore it apart as he could and wasted most of it. Not being able to satisfy herself, she tried the same thing with our snake, which also ended up torn.

The man, dissatisfied and desperate, injured himself and ripped from his side a rib, that injury caused pain, pleasure and weakness. In the wake of this event, men began to hate and exterminate us.

Therefore, our species acts with stealth, so that the dissatisfaction and fear of men do not completely exterminate us. And your story...?

-I think you already told it.
