Hadithi wa Swira

On Tuesday morning, Katrina was walking up the hill to work. She was so thoroughly absorbed in the empanada that she was eating for breakfast that she failed to realize that the black PVC pipe on the trail was not in fact a black PVC pipe but a 10 foot-long spitting cobra! Thankfully something caught her attention (maybe the hood or glistening fangs?!) and she looked up in time to stop her stride 8 feet before running into the thing. Immediately, the snake turned around and headed off into the grass alongside the trail and Katrina continued to school, just like any other day, though not quite so absorbed with her empanada.
