[00:23.85]Snake Anut
[00:28.91]我的阿姨是条蛇
[00:37.09]There was just enough moonlight for him
[00:39.86]to see the bottom of his door,
[00:42.82]so he blew out his candle and unsheathed his sword.
[00:48.00]Then he stood waiting.
[00:51.17]He watched for hours wondering
[00:53.31]what the snake might do.
[00:56.03]What if it slithered through the window instead,
[00:58.95]crept up behind him,
[01:01.16]and struck him with its venomous fangs 1?
[01:04.68]What if it slithered to the top of the wardrobe
[01:07.85]and dropped down from above?
[01:10.80]He was thinking of fleeing for his life,
[01:13.98]when he finally saw the snake
[01:15.73]glide under the door-first its head,
[01:19.01]then its body, then its tail.
[01:22.39]Slash! He swung the sword so quickly
[01:26.48]that the snake had no warning.
[01:29.22]And the tip of its tail began writhing,
[01:31.84]all by itself, there on the floor.
[01:35.69]The snake raised its head as if to strike,
[01:39.72]but then it hissed 2 viciously
[01:42.06]and slithered out of the room.
[01:44.51]And when he looked down the hall,
[01:46.12]he saw it disappear under his uncle's door.
[01:50.12]The young man
[01:51.03]couldn't stand looking at that quivering tail,
[01:53.88]so he scooped 3 it up with his sword
[01:56.00]and flung it in a drawer.
[01:58.87]He hardly slept all that night,
[02:02.17]and when he did
[02:03.69]snakes chased him through his dreams.
[02:07.22]The next morning, he opened the drawer a crack
[02:10.19]to look at the snake's tail
[02:11.99]and was amazed to see
[02:14.34]that it had turned into human toes.
