Sounds like it could have been one of Rudyard Kipling's 'Just So' stories.

It isn't a children's book, but Mules and Men is a book of folktales that includes that story.
I remeber there was this childrens book that had a myth explaining the orgin of venom in snakes. In the beginning snakes were stepped on and evem chewed on until god(or some other entity) gives them venom to defend themselves. Can anyone tell me what the name of this book was?
