A joke!!

Some scientists decided to do the following experiments on a dog. 

For the first experiment, they cut one of the dog's legs off, then they told the dog to walk. The dog got up and walked, so they they learned that a dog could walk with just three legs. 

For the second experiment, they cut off a second leg from the dog, then they told the dog once more to walk. The dog was still able to walk with only two legs. 

For the third experiment, they cut off yet another leg from the dog and once more they told the dog to walk. So,  the dog wasn't able to walk with only one leg. 

As a result of these three experiments, the scientists wrote in their final report that the dog had lost it's hearing after having three legs cut off.

The snake and the rabbit.

Once upon a time there was a venomous and evil snake living in a fountain. She lived alone, and she used to poison the water for killing the animals which drank there. One day a smart rabbit arrive to the fountain and drank water. Soon he felt bad, and he sat down on a rock next to the pipe. The snake said:

- Do you feel sick, little rabbit?
- Hi, snake. Yes; certainly I don't feel good. Do you know why?
- Yes. You have drunk the water I poisoned this morning. Sure that you die in a few minutes; and later I will eat you.
- Oh, no! Don't tell me that!! My poor children are waiting for me in the warren. I have to suckle them, or they will die!!

The snake, looking that may she could get some delicious baby rabbits, hatched a plan for getting them.

- Well, little rabbit, although you'll die, there's one solution. I can take care of your babies. Why don't you tell me where is your warren? I promise you I'll protect them.

The little rabbit, desperate, explained the ubication of the warren.

- Ok, snake. I trust you. My warren is next to the river, in the waterfalls, under a willow. Go there and you'll find my babies. Please, take care of them!!

- You're stupid, little rabbit!! How do you think I was going to protect your babies? They're so tender, so appealing... I think they're going to be a nice dinner. Bye!!

The little rabbit died, but with a smile on her face. Of course that under the willow, next to the river, in the waterfalls, of course that there was a warren. But not a rabbit warren. That night, the mongoose ate a succulent green snake which had arrived asking for some baby rabbits.
