6th grade found a snake walking to school. put it in my sneaker that I was carrying cuz it was gym day then put the sneaker in my desk. it was fine until a friend ratted me out & the teacher made me put it outside
Reminds me of the time in first grade when we were playing some game in the school basement because it was too cold to play out of doors, and one of the girls screamed, which made them all scream like a turbo-jet. They had seen the shadow of a giant snake on the grille of the window. This was a python, escaped from the zoo, who came out of hiding to warm in the sun. Public educator from the zoo, famous on local Tv, came by in his Land Rover painted like a zebra to get the snake .The snake must have made for the river and swam 20 miles downstream, then came six blocks from the river to provide us this experience. I seem to think we were on the tele, and in the newspaper. I had no idea snakes were able to get that large. Because we were fairly ignorant back then.
