All her life,
she’d had an absolute fear of snakes. So much so, she “saw” them everywhere.
She screamed at
hoses, vines, even her own shoelaces.
Finally, she
had enough.
Using her inner
Voice of Reason, she tallied up the total number of snakes she’d seen in person
and on the loose in her entire life.
The number was
zero.
Zero snakes.
Right then, she
decided to stop being silly.
She took a
lovely walk in the forest, where the breeze rustled the fallen leaves, exposing
a gracefully curving branch.
The little
Copperhead watched her curiously as she continued on.
