The Parable of The Good Snake.

Okay, generally speaking, in biblical circles, snakes have a bit of a bad name. There is one snake, though, who crawled against the grain.
A man from Corinth was walking in a nearby desert when he became overcome by the heat and ran out of water. Soon he was laying on the ground and near death.
A snake was passing and saw the man. This was a talking snake - from the same species that was in the Garden of Eden.
The snake asked the man,
"Why are you laying on the ground?"
Being from Corinth, the man had a bit of a tongue on him and replied,
"Jesus! That's a bloody stupid question!"
The snake assumed that the man wanted to be with Jesus, who had been crucufued a little while back, so he bit him and the man died.

Although the snake really got the wrong end of the stick, so to speak, he had a good heart and was only trying to help.

I guess the moral of this parable is that, even if you are in a bad mood, for whatever reason, it pays to answer questions accurately, so that the person (or talking snake) you are talking to understands what your true intentions or desires are.
