I will grow my fur thick to protect me from your bite keep agile, far from sick in worlds of flight and might Ricki-Ticki I was to Kipling fans snared a few cobras dwelt in pharoah's sands weasel-like I am to a certain degree caught unwanted vermin for farmers, free. I move quick and strike the cobra neck once the snake has lunged forward keep agile, protect you from a snake bite in world of the victim, flight and might.

I remember the story and I love the images you painted Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

Good things pop out of small packages, this beast much smaller than its prey...am painting occasional vignettes for stories I much admired  |

 BRAVO!!! I too have heard of this classic tale, sweet friend, this is indeed wonderful and explains its meaning so well! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

not much of a tale here rather a definition of what the beast does, but thanks for sharing |
