Snake in the Bath
|
|
Abstract
|
How would you like to find a snake in your bath? A nasty one too!
|
Orientation
|
We had just moved into a new house, which had been
empty for so long that everything was in a terrible mess. Anna and I decided
we would clean the bath first, so we set to, and turned on
the tap.
|
Crisis
|
Suddenly to my horror, a snake’s head appeared in the plug-hole.
Then out slithered the rest of his long thin body. He twisted and turned
on the slippery bottom of the bath, spitting and hissing at us.
|
Incident
|
For an instant I stood there quite paralysed.
Then I yelled for my husband, who luckily came running and killed
the snake with the handle of a broom. Anna, who was only three at the
time, was quite interested in the whole business. Indeed I had to
pull her out of the way or she’d probably have leant over the bath
to get a better look!
|
Coda
|
Ever since then I’ve always put
the plug in firmly before running the bath water.
