Chapter 34: The Scariest Moment In The Buffingtons' Lives
“Once bitten by a snake, he/she is scared all his/her life at the mere sight of a rope.” -Chinese Proverbs.
A sound, soft and scaley,grazed the Buffingtons ears. They looked at eachother silently, before rushing to the door and struggling to get to it. Miss Q was closest to the cause of the sound, and what she saw struck fear to her very core. It slithered over, making them all scream and cackle. Where was TLG? The serpant turned, and nimbly climbed into the chicken tractor's house... Where Miss Hershey was sitting on her eggs.
When Miss Hershey saw it, she bravely hissed at it. (You know how foolish broody hens can be.) It stopped and looked at her, when he had been here before, it had been simple to puncture the eggs. It had even been simple to go inside their main building to frame them for devouring the eggs.
TWG (TLG's Mom,) walked out into the dusk, TLG wasn't feeling very well, so she was caring for the Buffingtons tonight. All of them were crowded at the chicken tractor door. How strange, TWG thought. She opened up the door and the Buffingtons raced into their house, eager to get away.
TWG opened the door to take Miss Hershey. When she opened the door, (It opens on the top) she gasped as she saw the four foot long black snake. It looked up at her, surprised. She closed the lid quickly, and raced back inside.
MEANWHILE...
TLG and TTG (TLG's Dad) were watching Andy Griffith on the television. TLG was having issues (Sore throat, etc), so she had asked TWG if she would take care of the Buffingtons for her. TWG had scarcely been out for five minutes when she raced inside. "SNAKE!" She said, "IN WITH HERSHEY, IT'S HUGE!" TTG and TLG jumped up, TTG ran outside, while TLG stayed in. (I don't like snakes, they scare me.) A minute later, TLG ran outside, (But not before putting on tall, thick boots.) TTG was walking away, with a huge snake dangling from a shovel. (It had to have been over four feet.) When TLG saw that, she thought of something. Lately, there had been holes in the eggs made from 'Hershey's Toenails,' and sometimes they 'skipped laying,' and sometimes even 'ate the eggs'. The snake could have been doing that this entire time! That would explain why it was so huge!

Hershey lay in TLG's arms as she raced to the pens. Hershey was tired, it took all of her energy attempting to hatch her eggs, if TLG would quit snatching them, maybe she would succeed.
