Having arrived at the edge of the river, the

fisherman soon realized he had forgotten to bring any bait. Just

up again and poured
a little beer down his throat. Then he went
about his fishing.
An hour or so later the fisherman felt a tug at his
pant leg. Looking
down, he saw the same snake with three more worms
in his
mouth…
