Petey was a snake, only sooo big.  Petey lived in a pit with his mother.
One day Petey was hissing in the pit when his mother said, "Petey, don't
hiss in the pit.  If you must hiss, go outside the pit and hiss."  Petey
went outside the pit to hiss.  Petey was hissing all around, when he
finally leaned over a little and hissed in the pit.  Petey's mother
heard Petey hissing in the pit and said, "Petey, if you must hiss in the
pit, go over to Mrs. Pott's pit and hiss  in her pit."  But Mrs. Pott's
was not at home, so he hissed in her pit anyway.  While Petey was
hissing in Mrs. Pott's pit, Mrs. Pott's came home and found Petey
hissing in her pit and said.  "Petey, if you must hiss in a pit, don't
hiss in my pit, go to your own pit and hiss."  This made Petey very sad
and he cried all the way home.  When Petey got home, his mother saw him
crying and said, "Petey, what's the matter?"  Petey said, "I went over
to Mrs. Pott's pit to hiss in her pit, but she was not home so I hissed
in her pit anyway.  Mrs. Pott's came home and found me hissing in her
pit and said, "Petey,  if you must hiss in a pit, don't hiss in my pit,
go to your own pit and hiss.""   This made Petey's mother very angry.
She said, "Why that mean old lady.  I knew Mrs. Pott's when she didn't
have a pit to hiss in"
