"Buddha’s Scripture to Lin Ling" (The Parable of the Serpent)







Bird is told by Dog,
“It is a sin to fly”
So he spends out his days tearing off his wings.

Dog is told by Serpent,
“It is a sin to run”
So he spends out his days tearing off his legs.

Serpent is told by Rat,
“It is a sin to slither”
Rat is told by Serpent,
“I know. That’s why I have all of these tiny wheels under my belly.”
And Serpent rides wheelie for Rat.
