The Chimpanzee and the Boa Constrictor

As a Venerable Boa Constrictor was about to narrate some Reminiscences of his Youth, a pert young Chimpanzee remarked that "Snake Stories were an awful Boa," whereupon the Serpent did him in his Tail enfold, saying that even Monkeys had their Place in the Economy of Nature.

Moral. – You should never sass a Person who has the Age on you.


Another and still more esoteric moral: Whenever a medium sasses a "Theosoph" he may shout for the police till his last breath – no "angel guide" is likely to come to his rescue. – Don't stir up the Theosophical Snake.
