Giving Cobbie a Wide Berth

Celia was a white witch, but others did not know They avoided her greenhouse, said she gave a show Every spell she did with a flourish, for goodness sake Real reason they stayed away was Cobbie, her extra large snake Cobbie was her spirit animal, her mentor, her familiar, her muse. He looked like he could crush and devour giant men by threes and twos. He was actually a kind-hearted snake, who protected Celia daily. I always gave him a wide berth, tiptoeing around him gingerly.
