People in East Asian countries often try to plan their children not 
to be Snakes, because they believe that Snake people are selfish 
and don't have family feeling. When an American woman heard about this 
from a Chinese astrologer and expressed concern because her child was 
a Snake, the astrologer told her not to worry, being a Snake doesn't 
matter for Americans, because Americans are all like that anyway. That 
wasn't as kind as Lois Keng's reply to a different American woman's 
same concern: "No problem. Snake is small Dragon."
