Snake!!!One day, we were planning what to do for the vacation, the phone rang, it was complaining on the table. It was our aunt inviting us to Cortina a terribly beautiful

mountain place in Italy, only eight hours from Rome......I said eight hours! After a week of packing .....yes I remembered my Teddy. We took the overnight train to go there. We had to sleep on the train, when I woke up I always bumped my head on this stupid metal bar. When we arrived at the train station of Cortina. My aunt came to collect us. She looked at me and said, "you have grown so tall!" We took the the roomy car to go to our cousins house. When we arrived to are cousins house their dog just came towards us and jumped on us, her saliva flew on to our faces. We settled in the house for lunch.

After lunch we went to the soccer field, that they have 100 meters below the house. A few days passed and we had fun taking walks and doing other stuff. One day I was running on the wooden floor, when I was about to step on one of the wooden tablets when a snake came out of a hole hissing at me and staring at my foot I guess he was saying " Hey kid get your smelly foot out of my property!" and was about to bite me,but I was lucky enough to rewind the step and run away. After a few seconds aunt came out with a wooden big stick and cut the snake in three pieces, but it was still moving, IT WAS REALLY GROSS!! After my aunt put the slippery snake in the bag she threw it away with anger. The snake was very vile.

The snake was called a black viper It was deadly. From that experience I feared snakes. Now these days I imagine big long fat snake bighting my head off.
