snake finally threw a complete coil around the black snake’s neck, and after he had him stretched out ; straight he let loose with his mouth, the hold he had kept and j swallowed the black snake’s head, a sure way to stop all breath of the larger snake.
My only regret in seeing this fight was that if I only had a few more black snakes for him to kill, for I despise the black snake above all others, and I kill all I see. Several times, when coming across a very large black snake and having nothing to kill him with, I have jumped on them with my feet and stompped them to death.
Many years ago, when I was a bare foot kid, and most too small to venture far from home, I spent a good deal of my time fishing in a small stream that ran close to our house.Of course there wasn’t much to catch, but Milldace, but anywav I fished just the same.
One day while on one of these fishing trips, and being over anxious to catch a fish, and forgetting all else, I found myself standing on a large king snake, and in a second, he had wrapped around one of my legs. I never knew if this snake did bite me, or if I stepped on a briar, anyway I got a sting, so I was bit for sure, and I lost no time in getting hime.
My father saw me coming, and knew by the way I was running that something was wrong.
After telling* him I had been bitten of course he wanted to see for himself, so we sat down on the front steps, and he took out his nocket knife and began scraping on the bottom of a fnighty black foot. Well, after scraping and cutting away for about ten minutes.
