Once upon a time there was a little snake.  He liked to go out
and play in the warm sunshine and his mother certainly
encouraged him to do so.  One day little Johnny came in sobbing
as though his heart would break.  "What's the matter?" asked
his mother.

Johnny told his tale of woe.  "Oh mother, I was over at Mrs. Jones'
house and all I was doing was hissing in her pit.  I wasn't bothering
anything but she came out and yelled at me to quit hissing in her pit
and go home."

His mother said, "Well, she's got a lot of nerve!  I remember when
she didn't have a pit to hiss in herself."
