Drawing a Snake

Several men bet a jug of wine that whoever drew a snake first would get the jug. One of them was the first to draw it, and when he reached for the jug and was about to drink it, he looked around to see that the others hadn't finished, so he held the jug in his left hand and continued to draw with his right hand, saying, "I can still add a few more feet to this snake!" Before the snake's feet were finished, another person who had already painted the snake snatched the jug from his hand and said as he drank, "The snake originally had no feet, how can you add feet to him?"

But before he could finish the feet, another man completed his snake. He immediately seized the vessel and cried: "A snake is born without feet.
