-PART 4 (I think)-
Rachel had no time to think. She jumped forward and simply picket the snake up. The animal was moving around and made himself ready to attack, but Rachel threw it away as fast as she could.
The snake landed safely on the ferns and quickly crawled away.
She gasped, thinking of what had just happened. Then she looked at Ray, who was still lying on his back. She wondered if he had any idea what happened. ‘The.. the snake is gone, Ray.’
He sat straight up and looked around ‘How?’ he asked. ‘I picked it up by its tail and threw the awful snake over there.’ And she pointed towards the ferns. Suddenly Ray started to laughing. It looked like he had the giggles. Was he getting crazy?
‘Why on earth are you laughing?!’ Rachel asked, confused. ‘It’s.. it’s just that you- you threw a poisonous snake as big as your arm,’ he stopped to what looked like laughing and chocking at the same time, ‘in the bush with you bare hands, after I jumped down from a huge plant!’
‘and that is something I never thought I would say!’ for some reason Rachel started laughing too.
Not even because it was funny, just because it was so crazy you just couldn’t be nót laughing.
‘shall we go, now?’ she asked after about 5 minutes non-stop laughing. ‘yeah,’ -giggle- ‘yeah, I’m done laughing,’ –giggle- ‘I guess,’ he answered. ‘Hey, Ray, I think we already walked for 700 meters, now. Where do we go?’ He looked at his map again and wondered where they were. Ah, over there, he thought, 700 meters… East… ‘That way,’ he pointed, ‘to the west. There should be the Dande Row River.’ ‘okay, let’s go then!’
