Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about these Snake and Rat folks, you know, from that Chinese zodiac thingy. It’s kinda like matchmakin’, but with animals. Don’t ask me how they figured it all out, them old Chinese fellas were somethin’ else, I tell ya.
Snake and Rat, huh? Now, these two, they ain’t exactly peas in a pod, but they ain’t cats and dogs either. It’s more like… well, it’s complicated. Like tryin’ to figure out why the rooster crows at 3 am, sometimes it just happens.
See, the Snake, he’s a slick one. Quiet, you know? Observes everything. Reminds me of old Mrs. Henderson, always watchin’ from her porch, not sayin’ much but seein’ it all. And smart, real smart. Cunning, they call it. Like figurin’ out how to get the last piece of apple pie at the church picnic.
The Rat, now, he’s different. He’s a mover and a shaker. Always busy, always thinkin’, always got a plan. Like my grandson, always runnin’ around, full of energy, can’t sit still for a minute. And charming too. He can sweet-talk his way outta anything. Reminds me of that salesman who sold my husband a car that broke down after two days, smooth talker he was.
So, how do they get along? Well, they say opposites attract, right? The Snake, he likes that Rat’s smarts. He sees the Rat’s quick thinkin’ and he nods, like, “Yep, this one’s got somethin’ goin’ on.” And the Rat, he likes that the Snake sees things most folks miss. The Snake’s got that… what do you call it… perception. Yeah, that’s it. Like knowin’ when the rain’s comin’ before the clouds even show up.
But it ain’t always smooth sailin’, mind you. They gotta work at it. The Snake, he’s kinda… private. Likes his space. The Rat, he’s out there, socializin’, makin’ friends. Like me at the bingo hall, I love to chat and see what everyone is up to. Sometimes a snake just wants to be left alone in the sun, you know? So, they gotta learn to give each other room to breathe. Like when my husband wanted to go fishing and I wanted to visit my sister, we both got our space and were happy for it.
Love, friendship, you name it. It’s all a mix of good and bad, this Snake and Rat thing. They can be good together, real good. But they gotta understand each other. The Snake gotta learn to loosen up a bit. And the Rat, he gotta learn to slow down and listen sometimes.
They say the Snake is part of a group, somethin’ called a trine, with the Ox and the Rooster. Those three, they get along like biscuits and gravy. But the Pig? Nah, the Snake and the Pig ain’t gonna be best buds. And the Rat, he likes the Dragon, the Monkey, and the Ox. So, you see, it’s all connected, like a big ol’ spiderweb. Every animal has its friends and its not-so-friends.
Now, if you’re lookin’ for love in 2020, or whatever year it is now, and you’re a Snake or a Rat, you gotta pay attention to these things. It ain’t the be-all and end-all, mind you. But it gives you a little somethin’ to think about. Like, if you’re a Rat, you might have a better time with that Dragon fella than that Snake. But hey, love is a funny thing. Sometimes it just happens, no matter what the stars or the animals say.
So, what’s the bottom line? Can a Snake and a Rat make it work? Sure they can. They just gotta be willin’ to meet each other halfway. Like sharin’ the last piece of pie instead of fightin’ over it. Understand each other, respect each other, and give each other a little space when they need it. It ain’t rocket science, you know. Just common sense.
And that’s all I gotta say about that Snake and Rat business. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go check on my tomato plants.
