The child believes the world should be perfect and is outraged to discover it is not. And the child is right.” – Rabbi Tzvi Freeman -- “The Adder is said to have caused the start of the Battle of Camlan, the battle in which King Arthur was killed (in 537 AD). As the armies of King Arthur and Mordred faced each other an Adder emerged suddenly. One of Arthur's men drew his sword to kill the animal, but Mordred believed this to be a sign of attack, prompting the battle to begin.”
