This crazy story about smuggling a snake on a bus is actually a wholesome metaphor for not being self-conscious. We hope this can help someone with their confidence and realize that people don’t actually care about the little things you might be hung up on:
“Buddy she’s a snake not a flying death tentacle”
-On behalf of snake lovers everywhere, and even the people who aren’t scared peeless of snakes, thank you.
Wanted to add another wholesome and remarkably progressive story to those mentioned. The Adventure of the Yellow Face
Holmes and Watson meet this guy who tells them how he married this woman who had been previously married to an American. Her husband and child had died in an epidemic and circumstances had forced her back to England. Everything had been great until she asked for a bunch of money no questions asked. Later she started sneaking around and visiting this cottage. He’d checked it out and while he hadn’t seen anyone it was clearly lived in.
Holmes goes “First husband’s definitely alive and followed her over to blackmail her.” The three of them bust in against her protests to catch the guy. Turns out Holmes was wrong. Her black first husband had died but their biracial daughter had managed to survive. The money was to bring her and her nanny over to England, but the wife had been scared he’d leave her if he knew she had a biracial child so she’d been trying to keep her secret.
The guy surprises everyone by immediately accepting the girl and bringing her home with them as he tells his wife she was way off with that assumption.
This is one of my favorite stories– but I am really confused as to what it has to do with taking a python to the vet.
