The Raggle-Taggle Snake
I am frightened not knowing
what to do. I start screaming,
I start
to run
But my
legs are stiff.
I can't see it but I hear it.
Now I see it, wiggly, waggling
With its long ugly body.
I jump up
And down
Screaming.
My heart
thumps
fast.
I'm scared.
I bow my head for the poison to pass above me...
My heart stops thumping and happiness falls over
My face.
