Snake:A Creature So Amazing

One sunny afternoon, I coiled in the grass, and later wriggled my way through the woods, though scaly and limbless I am, yet uniquely created and outstanding among beasts. My charming rhythmic movement caught the attention of the hunter, who though struck by awe, yet desired my lurid green scales. On approaching me, the glitter of my divinely adorned skin, revealed in the pasture land by the scorching rays of the tropical sun, calmed his fevered nerves. There never was such natural beauty ever seen by him, in fact if he were deeply inclined to his ancestral beliefs, perhaps he would have numbered me with the gods. Neither the lilies of the valley nor the garden of roses in their astonishing array of colours could my beauty be likened to. "What manner of creature?" said he, "long beautiful belt-like features fit to adorn the tunics of a goddess. Yet he sojourns like a priceless jewel in the midst of the thorny woods. But who could he possibly be? A fallen angel? A reptile with a two-forked tongue? A mermaid on the terrestrial? Or even Lucifer himself, the fairest of angels all?" "But I for the thick woods went, for fear of an age-old foe, wriggling steadily, steadily along the path, ready to vanish from his dreadful sight".
