The wife still had the problem of the snake in the house, so she called mi a ueichhor man. He volunteered to capture the snake. He armed himself with a rolled-unewspaper and poking under the couch. Soon lie decided it was gone and told the woman, who sat down on the sofa in relief But in relaxing, her hand dangled in between the cushions. where she felt the snake wriggling around. She screamed and fainted, the snake rushed back under the sola, and the neighbor men. seeing her laying there passed out tried to use CPR to revive her. The neighlior's wife, who hud just returned from shopping at the grocery store, saw her husband's mouth on the woman's mouth and slammed her husband in the back nf the head with a hag ofcanned goods, knocking him out and cutting his scalp to a point where it needed stitches. An ambulance was again called and it was determined that the injury required hospitalization. The noise woke the woman from her dead faint and she saw her neigh- p hor lying on the floor with his wife bending over him, so she assumed he had been bitten by the snake. She went to the kitchen, brought back a snuill bottle of whiskey, and began pouring it down the mans throat. By now the police had arrived. They saw the unconscious man, smeiled the whiskey, and assumed that a drunken fight had occurred. They were about to arrest them all, when the two women tried to explain how it all happened over a little green snake. They called an ambulance, which took away the neighbor and his sobbing wife. Just then the little snake crawled out from under the couch. One of the policemen drew his gun and fired at it. He missed the snake and hit the leg of the end table that was on one side of the sofa. The table fell over and the lamp on it shattered and as the bulb broke, it started a Are in the drapes. The other policeman tried to beat nut the flames and fell through the window into the yard on top of the family dog, who startled, jumped up and raced out into the street, where an oncoming car swerved to avoid it and smashed into the parked police car and set it on Are. Meanwhile the burning drapes had spread to the walls and the entire house was blazing. Neighbors had called the Are dek partment and the arriving had started raising his ladder as they were halfway down the street. Tlie rising ladder tore out the overhead wires and put out the electricity am' disconnected the telephones in a city block area. Time passed. Both men were discharged from the hospital, the house the police acquired a was new car, and all was right with their world. About a year later they were watching TV and the weatherman announced a cold snap for that night. The husband asked his wife if she thought they should bring in their plants for the night. NO!
