I thought they were stupid and a waste of time . Instead I and a couple of my best friends went out to the fields for a snake - killing spree . We drove snakes out of the bushes then beat them to with long , wooden sticks . It was harsh I know but we were kids then and pushing miniature cars around and wetting ourselves with water s just were n't our idea of having fun .

Question: Why did the children kill the snakes ?
Answer: They were cruel people who hated snakes .The snakes were a threat to the children .They were children who were acting on impulses .None of the above choices .
