It’s more afraid of you than you are of it.I’m sure you’ve heard that old saying, but I’m here to tell you that it's untrue, a fantasy. If it were a tale, it would start out with “once upon a time” and end with “they lived happily ever after” like all other bedtime fables. Parents always tell their children about all sorts of creatures – bees, dogs, mice, bears, SNAKES, etc., and say that “they’re more afraid of you than you are of them.”
