he was four years old and injured
both legs permanently.
He said that a neighbcr had toll
him a snake story just before he Went
to bed. 1t was a tale of a blacksnale
ever so many feet long and an increG-
ible number of inches thick, which
the neighbor had said he had killed.
Charles woke up in the morning
with the story still in mind. He
thought how comfortable it was t.
live in a country where one couli
sleep in peace instead OF in one Of
those countries where, he had hearc.
snakes sometimes creep in and share
ones bed.
Revealing in the thought, he thrust
his right leg deeper under the covers.
Then something that stung like a hot
needle pierced his ankle.

he said. 1T was the first time | had

asked.
No; it was a wasp" And he

had swollen it.
