Memorable Incident

One day I came out into the veranda to say bye to my uncle who was going to the market. When I turned around to enter the house, I saw a green and black snake. I was scared and I ran to call my father. Then I went running to get a big bamboo stick to kill the snake. My grandmother shouted to me to light a fire so that we could put burn the snake after killing it. I hurriedly tried to gather dried wood and paper. Meanwhile, the snake was not moving and my father hit it hard to kill it. To our surprise the snake jumped after being hit as it was made of rubber! Just then my uncle walked back with a big smile on his face. He had put the snake there to play a joke on us.
