Published: in Book 11: Seasons, 1999 Synopsis: Usagi recounts two past adventures to Priest Sanshobo, one involving a snake widow avenging her husband's death, and one a parable told to Young Usagi by Kunichi. Notes: - This story is a combination of "Hebi" (exclusive to the collected edition of Book 7: Gen's Story) and "The Courage of the Plum" (from The Art of Usagi Yojimbo #1, by Radio Comix) with four pages of a new framing story added.
- Young Usagi
- "Hebi" does not feature Lord Hebi ("Hebi" simply means "snake" in Japanese)
- "Hebi" is also reprinted in Usagi Yojimbo Role-Playing Game (Gold Rush Games, 1997)

I love the framing narrative with the priest, and the stories themselves remind of the simpler stories that Stan started with.

Quite the fun little story with Gen and Usagi doing their Hope and Crosby on the road routine to perfection!
