One day we were walking along the cliffs that over looked the ocean. Christian, the brother right after me, we now know has nine lives. He took off running into the bushes, for one reason and one only, to do exactly the opposite of what my parents told him to do. I watched my brother's head pop up from the bushes every time he took a step. It did not take long till my older brother Stefan ran out into the bushes too. Seconds after Stefan joined Chris, Stefan's face went pale and he started screaming"SNAKE, snake!"
And with having said that he took off, hurtling over the bushes. Christian was frozen and starred at the bushes out in the distance. You could see his eyes follow what was coming toward him, as he was looking straight down he unfroze and ran. I am sure I was sopost to care and be concerned, and I was, but watching him run faster then anyone i have ever seen, jumping over the bushes only made me laugh. As we walked back from out long walk and Christian ,clentched onto my Mom and still trembelling, there it was, a huge, long, black snake, dead on the street.
Christian had to have his room checked every night for snakes and we never walked through the bushes again.
