THE SNAKE Peter and his brother, John, were walking in the bush looking for another pretty flower to add to their bunch of Spider Orchids. About ten minutes later they found a funny purple-spotted sunflower, but curled around the stem was a large brown snake. “I hate snakes,” said Peter very frightened. John, a much braver boy, knew he didn’t have a fifty -link chain for killing the snake. Quickly, he found a large stick. With one blow, the ugly creature was dead and John took the snake and asked Peter to hang it over the branch of a tree. A
