Life Experience Quotes

A scorpion, being a very poor swimmer, asked a turtle to carry him on his back across a river. “Are you mad? exclaimed the turtle. “You’ll sting me while I’m swimming and I’ll drown. My dear turtle, laughed the scorpion, “if I were to sting you, you would drown and I would go down with you. Now where is the logic in that? You’re right! cried the turtle. Hop on!

This is a true story about a woman from India who lived in the Middle Ages and had a pet snake, python, which she loved so much. The snake was 4 meters long and looked healthy. However, one day her unusual pet just stopped eating. This lack of appetite in the snake continued over a few weeks. The desperate woman tried everything she could and offered anything that a snake would like to strangle and eat. Nothing worked, and finally the woman took her loving pet to the veterinarian as a last resort. The vet listened to the woman carefully and asked, “Does your snake sleep with you at night, wrap around you closely and spread out throughout its length?” The woman was surprised and with a lot of hope she said, “Yes!
