I had a horse then, and I was over feeding the horse. I had an oatmeal box that I put the feed in for the horse, and it was just a round paper can. I left the horse, I fed him and left the horse and I was going back to the house. I went by a spring and I got on my knees and my belly and I was drinking out of that spring, and I looked up and there was a snake right there. So I got the snake and I took it home and I put it in the mailbox, put the lid on it. The next morning, for some reason, my mother opened up that box. My grandmother was a little bitty woman, wore high heel shoes, swore like a sailor, They both went out of the door at the same time and got jammed in the middle of the door, going in the kitchen, and I never heard so much commotion in my life. So I heard my dad say something about me getting out, get that snake, so I got the snake.
