It was a hot and sunny Saturday afternoon.The heat of the Sun was unbearable so I was in my room surfing the net with my air-conditioner on at the lowest temperature.Only my sister and I were at home as my parents were out to attend to some important matters.My sister was out watching television and I was going to join her as soon as I shut down my computer.After that,I was tidying up the computer desk but just then my English file dropped under the desk.As I was lazy,I tried to use my legs to take the file from under there.Then suddenly out of nowhere,I felt a sharp pain on my right foot.I then quickly dashed to the living room where my sister was.I told her what happened then she took a look at my right foot.She saw two puncture wounds on top of it but could not be sure what caused them.So we both went back to my room and looked under the computer desk to see what was hiding there.To my horror,it was a snake!A snake had just bitten me and I realised I might die any moment now!I was screaming for my life.Then,my sister told me to relax and explained the whole situation to me.The snake which had bitten me was just a harmless rat snake which is common in Singapore.It took shelter under the computer desk as it needed to take refuge from the heat outside.How my sister knew all this things,I'll never know but anyway she called our neighbour,Mr Ong,to come in and help us remove and relocate the snake.He carefully took the snake out from there and went to a area where not many people will pass by and let the snake go.Meanwhile,my sister applied first aid to my wound and said it would heal in a few days time.This experience frightened the living daylights out of me as I encountered a snake for the first time in my life.I'm grateful for my sister and Mr Ong for helping me out through this experience.
