Relationships.
Beside a field a farmer had cleared and planted potatoes
in a row, there was a pyramid of useless stones; under
it though, lived an easygoing snake and a family of rabbits.
Rabbits breed a lot get many bunnies, but they can’t count,
the snake took one or two when no one looked, equilibrium,
the place never got crowded. A good life for all concerned,
only the snake got lonely, listening to all, that goings on in
the warren, invited lady snake into the cave to share its
fortune. Alas, she had no sense, didn’t think of tomorrow,
greedy swallowed the mother rabbit first, then the cute little
bunnies, (the father rabbit escaped to start a new family
somewhere else) to there wasn’t any left; it curled up and
when awake, after sleeping for two weeks, it was so hungry
it had to slither outside in mud, rain; cigarette butts and
rotting leaves, in the hope of finding a field mouse or, even
worse, worms and dung beetles.
