His aunt seemed to be sleeping, so the young man whispered in his uncle's ear. "I saw a snake." But his uncle was too groggy to respond, and he slid back under the covers. The young man searched the room quietly, looking into drawers and cupboards and corners. He peered under the bed and behind chairs. He was beginning to think he was going mad when suddenly his aunt sat up in bed, narrowed her eyes, and gave him an evil look that made his flesh creep.
"I'm sorry to bother you," he cried, racing to his bedroom and firmly shutting the door.
When he awoke the next morning, he noticed that the bottom of his bedroom door was arched up in the center, leaving just enough space for a snake to slither through. He bolted out of bed trembling. When he went downstairs, he was shocked to see that every door in the house had a snake-sized arch beneath it.
His aunt was sitting at the table, eating. "Your uncle left for the day," she said, licking her lips with her forked tongue. The young man was too terrified to speak, but his silence only made matters worse.
"I don't like the way you treat me," she said and grabbed his arm. Then she pressed her fingernails so deeply into his skin that he felt as if he were being bitten. He rushed outdoors and saw his arm was swelling. His hand and fingers were beginning to throb.
見嬸嬸像是睡著了,年青人就小聲在叔叔耳邊說:“我看見一條蛇。”但他叔叔此時睡得迷迷糊糊的根本反應不過來,開了門以后就回到床上鉆進被子里去了。年青人悄悄地開始在房間里面找,抽屜里,碗櫥里,墻角處,連床底下和椅子底下都看了。突然嬸嬸在床上坐起來,瞇著眼睛惡狠狠的瞪著他,他被看得汗毛都豎了起來,也覺得自己有點魯莽了。
“很抱歉打擾您睡覺了!”他大叫著,飛快地跑回自己的房間并使勁關上了房門。
第二天早上他醒來的時候,發(fā)現(xiàn)房門下面正中央有個弧形的小缺口,剛好夠一條蛇溜進來。他渾身哆嗦著下了床,走下樓來以后發(fā)現(xiàn)每間屋子的房門下方都有這么一個小洞,他簡直驚呆了。
嬸嬸正坐在餐桌前吃早飯,“你叔叔今天出去了,”她說道,同時用自己分叉的舌頭舔著嘴唇。他被嚇得連話都說不出來了,然而,他不說話,事情反而更糟糕。
“我不喜歡你那樣對待我,”她一邊說著一邊抓住他的胳膊,然后指甲深深的摳進皮膚里去,年輕人覺得自己像是被咬了一樣。他趕忙跑出去,見到胳膊已經(jīng)腫了起來,手掌和手指也隱隱作痛。
