Once upon a time, there was a girl who was a fool, because she thought she could be friends with snakes. With her big blue eyes, she only saw their beauty, their shining yellow skin and their sparkling diamond eyes, but forgot about the danger.
For a while all seemed well, she let them close, let them feed on her love and carried them to beautiful places. She laughed and was so sure about having found her haven, her personal Eden. She thought that her love was stronger than anything else, even than poison and spite.
But what a fool she was: She didn’t notice at first, but the snakes started to change beneath their pretty yellow skin. While she had her eyes on the delicious apples on the trees, thinking if the snakes would be happy to eat them, they introduced their teeth to her unprotected skin. Surprise mingled with pain in her expression and the disbelief of betrayed trust felt bitter in her heart.
You will say she should have known that life is no fairy tale, yes. I fear she will never learn because dreamers and lovers either get bitten or make miracles happen. So let’s hope next time she encounters roses without thorns instead of snakes.
