Today I saw a snake at my water trough in the morning. There was some water collected in the stone bottom of the trough. I felt a sense of honour that the Snake has chosen to be my guest. It had come from the hot depths of the earth to quench its thirst. But then a negative thought arouse in my mind. I had been taught that the brown snakes of Sicily are poisonous. Show the voice of my education seemed to suggest that I should kill the snake. A sort of horror overtook me when the snake turned back towards its hole. I threw a heavy stick at it. The snake was not hurt. It hurriedly went into its hole. But after the snake had disappeared I felt that I had committed a sin. Now I wish that the snake should come back, I wanted to atone for my sin.
