-- It was very horrible last night.--What's the matter?--It was at just 1 am, I heard a woman crying in my yard. I knew it's not from my mother's room, she had gone on holiday together with my father. -- Was it from your neighberhood?-- No, my neighbour was an old man with his cats. The cry became weaker and weaker...-- What happened then? --I tried to make myself brave enough to go out my house with a candle light and looked up the garden. There was nobody there. At the moment, I found some blood under a huge tree.--It was really unthinkable.-- To my greatest supprise, I found a cat was swallowed by a big snake, half of her body was inside the snake's mouth. I had such an inherent fear of snakes that I could do nothing but crying for help. At no time , the old man rushed out with a stick and shouted at me "I'm coming with you don't worry. He bit the snake with the stick and the snake coughed out the cat. It's old man's. Fortunately, she was still alive.
