An Exciting Event

One day I was reading a book under a tree. The place was cool and pleasant and I enjoyed reading the book.

All of a sudden, I saw a huge snake, a python. It was moving slowly towards me. I was frightened. I ran at once to tell some people about the snake.

Many people soon came to the place where I had seen the snake. They saw it and quickly caught it. They tied it to a long pole. It could not move.

One of the men who had caught the snake then gave me ten dollars. I was very happy indeed. I have, however, never read any books under a tree since that exciting event.
