  Lisa, a 33-year-old mother, went to cook lunch in the kitchen, her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the garden.

  Suddenly, a loud cry of Barney came into the mother’s ears. Lisa rushed into the garden in a hurry and found a big snake entwining（纏繞） the little boy with its body and trying to eat the boy. It was a boa（蟒）. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She decided to save her son from the boa’s mouth.

    It was great mother’s love that made Lisa forget what she was facing. She took up a hoe（鋤） from the ground and beat（打）the boa as hard as she could.
