Dream 2

Pippin, my cat, and I took our afternoon nap. Pippin takes more afternoon naps. I try to limit to one. We shared a dream. We were at the pet shop. In the middle of the store was a terrarium with a snake in it. It was coiled and a head was resting on the top of coils. Nobody bothered about the snake. The store changed the owners and the snake was always there. They fed it with a mouse from time to time. There was also a dish with water. One day people began to complain about a stench coming from the snake's terrarium. It was time for cleaning. The snake took its chance and began to uncoil. Pippin's dream: I was there ready to fight. The snake noticed I was there ready for action. The snake was still uncoiling. It must be at least forty feet long and it was already out of terrarium. A manager of the store grabbed a sack and caught the escaping snake into it. He saved a day from one loose snake in Saturday mall. There was the snake in the sack and filthy terrarium in need of cleaning. What now? The pet store has two shopping windows and nearer one with thick sparkling glass was empty. What do you think the snake? The snake slithered into the shopping window with gratitude. "I didn't mean to escape, I just would like to stretch a little bit. Aah." The shop has the snake in its window which is flexing each muscle of its long body - and a crowd of people watching it with fascination. They threw the old terrarium away since it stank so terribly it was impossible to clean it. The end Copyright (c) Marie Neumann Pottsville, 4/30/2011
