How Snakes Learned to Curl

         Long, long ago snakes could not curl. In fact, they were as stiff as steel sticks, and they did not slither the way modern day snakes did. In fact, they had grips on their skin that pulled them forward. However, one day, something extraordinary happened. A young girl snake named Viper bumped into a tree. She became what seemed hopelessly entangled on the trunk. Being young, she became scared and violently began to thrash. She pushed and pushed of the tree and the more she pushed the more she could bend, as her body soon became to curl and form a S shape. And soon she finally was freed. and she went home. She found it very odd because now, she could slither, and she no longer had to move in the stiff way that the other snakes did. When she went home, she immediately spread the news, and soon all the snakes decided that it was easier to slither than to do what they had formerly done. From that day on, Viper had changed snake-kind.
