slither slither?

Today well on friday November 27 2009 at the Babies home there was barely any light but I am glad there was a little. So I was looking for a stick when I was frightened wen I saw a Little snake slither away from my foot. Ether I stepped on it or I stepped right behind it. so I was like shaking 10 minutes after. so I ran to my only brother and he comes over and you know in Africa all the houses have fence's and one gate to get out. but you need a guard to open and close the gate. So he was right there and so I say... I just stepped on a snake. He said were did it go? I say it went in the fence the gourd says no your lying were did it go. i said the same thing. and he just repeated. So I just walk away so I go inside and I tell one of the workers at least she believes me:) then I see my sister I tell here the story then i saw a guy I trust his name was John. So he comes over and the gaurd left. He said I need a light. So I get mine. John couldn't find it so he said he will look in the morning. The snake looked like a black mamba and as big as the black mamba my brother saw. but it might have not been a black mamba because of the lighting. but its still a snake and I am happy that I saw one.
