The Helpful Snake

Tom went fishing one morning, but after a short while, he ran out of worms.

Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a cottonmouth snake with a frog in its mouth.

“Frogs make great bass bait,” he thought to himself.

Knowing the snake couldn’t bite him while it had the frog in its mouth, Tom grabbed it carefully behind the head, took the frog, and placed it in his bait bucket.

Then he realized he had a problem.

How was he supposed to release the snake without getting bitten?

So, he picked up his bottle of Jack Daniel’s and poured a little whiskey into the snake’s mouth.

The snake’s eyes rolled back, and it went limp.

Tom released it safely and continued fishing with the frog.

A little while later, he felt something nudging his foot.

He looked down and saw the very same snake standing there…

This time, it had TWO frogs in its mouth.
