Day of the Big Snake


Today was just a regular day of learning to speak Pulaar in class when some people from the village came and told us that they had caught a huge python from the farm.  Me being afraid of snakes really did not want to go see it but from the excitement and the word of how bug it was I knew it was a moment not to pass up.  I did make sure to ask if it was dead or alive before I ran over there and since it was dead I decided to go.  We walked over and they brought it out for us to see, the snake was big and very long.  They said that they had seen it while there were out at groundnut fields and killed it.  Gambians are terrified of all snakes no matter it being poisonous or not so they always just kill it.
