The Serpent and the File
(Aesop's Fables # 17)
 
      A Serpent in the course of its wanderings came into an armourer's shop. 

As he glided over the floor he felt his skin pricked by a file lying there.  In a 

rage he turned round upon it and tried to dart his fangs into it; but he could do 

no harm to heavy iron and had soon to give over his wrath.

     It is useless attacking the insensible.
