THE EGG THE SNAKE
COULD NOT CRUSH

One day while group of children
we're searching for birds nests among
the hills of north Georgia, writes a
contributor, to the Youths Compa-
Mon they discovered a large snake
tightly wound round the limb of an
apple tree.
They called to a gardner and after
he had knocked the snake from the
tree, found to their establishment that
it could crep but slowly for in the
middle of it body was large lump.
The gardner killed the snake and
then opened it. The children guessed
many things about the lump, but it
proved to be china nest egg from
the henhouse. The snake had been
trying to crush the egg by squeezing
it against the tree.
