One rainy afternoon,my 3year old daughter went to the comfort room to wash her dirty hands and feet. We hadn't notice anything unusual or so I think because I did not go inside the comfort room with her. So she came out after washing.
Not long when my husband came home and went directly inside the comfort room also to wash,I think.
When he heard a rustling sound above him. On one corner of the cr, there was an uncleaned dried leaves of coconut which he was supposed to make into stick broom.The rustling sound came from it but to his great surprise a snake was crawling in it.
He swung open the door and hurriedly took his bolo from its sheathe.He gets back to the cr and look for the snake.. I tried to peeped in and saw it was standing with its neck expanded to a hood.. It was a cobra.It made me afraid of the thought what if it was my daughter who had seen it?What if she got startled and got the snake startled also? After sometime my husband got to hurt it and nearly cut it in half.
It went out.My hubby ran after it at the back.Unluckily it entered a hole in the stones leaving it's severed tail part of atleast 2feet or longer,its diameter I think was atleast an inch.
Do you think that cobra died from its wound? Could it survive with a 2feet cut from it?
Later on,I came across a facebook post of someone from another village that they believed snakes bring goodluck..
If a snake happen to appear or get inside their house, they would just shower it with some water.. To let it drink, they believe that it was a good omen so they never intended to hurt or kill it. After showering it,the snake would leave..
Do you have such belief about snakes? What would you do if you happen to come across it?
Yes po, especially if u dream of it po
