Snake in the Bath

Abstract
How would you like to find a snake in your bath? A nasty one
too!

Orientation
We had just moved into a new house, which had been empty for
so long that everything was in a terrible mess. Anna and I
decided we would clean the bath first, so we set to, and turned
on the tap.
Crisis
Suddenly to my horror, a snake’s head appeared in the plug-hole.
Then out slithered the rest of its long thin body. It twisted and
turned on the slippery bottom of the bath, spitting and hissing at us.

Reaction/Incident
For an instant I stood there quite paralysed. Then I yelled for my
husband, who luckily came running and killed the snake with the
handle of a broom. Anna, who was only three at the time, was quite
interested in the whole business. Indeed I had to pull her out of the
way or she’d probably have leant over the bath to get a better look!

Coda
Ever since then I’ve always put the plug in firmly before running the
bath water.
