How a Snake Lost Hope

I saw 
some mouses 
and
Two multicoulored 
snakes.

The snakes 
Hunted
The mouses.

After seeing those 
Two venomous
And dangerous  
Reptiles , 

I stoped
Labouring the ground 
To chase the snakes.

Luckly one of
Them failed
Into my hands.

It was a victim
With 
No hope to survive 
As it always
Known 
Dangerous 
Animal in many 
Rural communities.
One man took it 
To the far bush, 
And the snake 
Continued to live.

I love this tale about snakes Alfonso. I'm glad the one was taken to the bush and set free. :)
