On her way to work one morning, down the path along the lake,
a tender-hearted woman saw a poor, half-hearted frozen snake.
His pretty coloured skin had been all frosted with the dew.
"Poor thing," she cried. "I'll take you in. And I'll take care of you."
"Take me in, oh tender woman," sighed the vicious snake.
She wrapped him up all cozy in a comforter of silk,
and laid him by her fireside with some honey and some milk.
She hurried home from work that night, and soon as she arrived,
she found that pretty snake she had taken in had been revived ...
She stroked his pretty skin again, and kissed and held him tight.
But instead of saying thank you, that snake gave her a vicious bite ...
"I saved you," cried the woman. "And you've bitten me, heaven, why?
"You know your bite is poisonous and now I'm going to die."
"Oh, shut up, silly woman," said the reptile with a grin.
"You knew damn well I was a snake before you took me in."
