The sun beats down hot on this burnt out husk of a city. Ashes and rusted metal blow through the streets. Tumbleweed rolls by, rats scurry between smoking buildings. There is no water to be seen.

snakes
I am a snake. Snakes are not regarded as important in the realm. I kill rodents and chickens.
ssss.....I sense a rat! And snakes are better? It's true most people in the kingdom don't hold us rats in high regard. But we do eliminate rats. You are of Satan This hot town is perfect for us snakes. I think I'll make a meal of you rat. Although I did have another rat a few hours ago. I think I can make room You don't need to eat me, there are much fatter rats out and about, you would much rather have one of them Actually I want chicken. Not too many chickens around here though. I could go for some chicken eggs, your right, they don't have many around here.  Plenty of tumbleweeds though. Why don't you come closer rat? You think I am that stupid, I don't cuddle up to snakes Maybe I could help us find some chickens. Come give your new snake friend a hug. Just because everyone else looks down on snakes doesn't mean you should too. I know better than to trust a lying snake
