A funny story...

Once upon a time, there was a little snake named Slippy. Slippy lived in a forest and loved to prey on small animals. But one day, while hunting, Slippy got stung by a strange insect. The venom from the insect caused Slippy's muscles to paralyze and he became unconscious.

When Slippy woke up, he found that his skin had started to clot and he couldn't move his body. The other animals in the forest came to see what had happened and they were very worried. They tried to help Slippy by giving him a skin graft but nothing seemed to work.

Slippy started to show symptoms of the venom and the other animals were afraid he would never be able to hunt again. But then, something amazing happened. Slippy's skin started to heal and he was able to move his body again. The other animals were so happy for Slippy and threw a big party in his honor.

From that day on, Slippy was known as the fastest and most agile hunter in the forest. And every time he caught his prey, he would always remember the day when he was almost paralyzed by the strange insect's venom.

The end!
