The Snake and the Rabbit

To respect the freedom of residence of the rabbit the snake made a law and went to proclaim it to the rabbit.
"Listen. From now on, if I should enter your residence without knocking and getting your permission first, you can prosecute me."
The snake announced this in real earnest. However, the snake did not know whether the rabbit would do as she was told. He felt that she had no sense of law and suspected that she did not trust him. He decided to test her.
The snake deliberately darted into the rabbit's buurrow without knocking and killed a little rabbit. Then he posted himself outside. waiting for the rabbit to come and file a charge.
The rabbit never emerged. His indignation growing, the snake went in again, arrested the rabbit and angrily demanded;
"Why didn't you abide by the law?"
"What law, sir? Whose law? "
"Why didn't you come  to file a charge?"
"You were the bandit and now you are the judge. whom should I charge and where should I bring my charge ?"
The snake hissed with indignation and swallowed the rabbit.
Then he announced to the public, "I killed the rabbit according to the law. And the entire lawful procedure of arest and trial has been carried out."
