THE MILK SNAKE

THE MILK SNAKE CRAWLS INTO A FARMER'S BARN AT NIGHT AND SUCKS ALL
OR NEARLY ALL OF THE MILK FROM THE COW BEFORE THE FARMER COMES
TO DO THE MILKING.

Submitter comment: THIS WAS LEARNED IN MY EARLY ADOLESCENT STAGE IN MY HOME TOWN.
THIS WAS SOMETHING LEARNED IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD WITH MY PLAY MATES.
THIS TALE IS A VERY SHORT VERSION OF AN ANECDOTE.
