    There was a man living in a house by himself .One day he was putting his horse down to grass near the lake but the horse was home as soon as him.He got a stick and put her down but after a while she came back again.He got a dung fork and brought the horse too. When he went down he saw a big snake grazing on the grass.He was 10 feet long and as high as an ass.The man ran home with the horse and did not go near it for a long time .The snake is supposed to be there yet.
