The mysteries of nature have always fascinated the human mind, and many of them remain unsolved for a long time. One morning, my brothers, sisters and I arrived at a house, not very far from ours. As we enter the house we were greatly surprised to find ababy boy and a large snake playing with each other mirthfully. Soon, the mother of thechild appeared and narrated the events that led to the snake and the child to live together. A man was called in to kill the snake; but every time the man struck at it with the stick that he brought, the child cried with pain. The mother ordered the man to stop molesting the reptile, and to the surprise of all those who had arrived on the scene, the child stopped crying.
