WORLD SNAKE DAY


July 16 2019 was world snake day. It attracted my attention because of an incident recently. There was this oil palm plantation worker who was walking from palm to palm loading oil palm fruit bunches into the tractor trailer. Suddenly, he jumped and ran off from the planting row screaming.




When questioned what happened, he claimed that a snake was behind him. Luckily he was not bitten. Having known that he had a tattoo he was told to take off his shirt and expose his back. And what a coincidence - he had a TATTOO OF A SNAKE (cobra) on his back.




No wonder the snake was behind him - I will follow him!!!

 Coincidentally the cartoon above was published in the newspaper. I showed this to this boy and he was indeed very amused!
