Borrowing Trouble From a Serpent Tale
A vignette from a youth tale features Peter prodding the talking snake Rattler to finish a cautionary story. Rattler frets about coming cold weather and a harsh future for serpents, while Peter urges patience and cautions against borrowing trouble. The scene closes as they reflect on shared misery among serpents and hint at a forthcoming chapter titled A Cave in Time.
