Kit and Alec were visiting their grandparents at their farm. Grandpa often told them, “Be careful in the tall grass. Snakes live there, and you may not see them in time.” One sunny day, they were playing cricket when the ball rolled into the tall grass. Alec was hunting for the ball, when he heard a rustling sound. It was a huge snake! Alec shouted out, “Look Kit, a snake!” While talking, Alec had stepped too near the snake, and in reaction, the snake bit him on the ankle! Kit screamed in fear and the snake slithered away! Kit immediately called out to her grandfather. They tied a handkerchief tightly around Alec’s leg and rushed him to the hospital. The doctor quickly gave Alec an injection and slowly, he started recovering. The doctor said, “You were brought here just in time!” Alec thanked Grandpa and Kit for saving his life.
