Published 26 February 2009
Lindi and Spike see a snake slither into the Vilakazis' garden. Lindi tells the twins that the snake is in their garden. They look for it, can't fi nd it and assume it went into Sam's garden. They tell Sam, but in their minds, the size of the snake has increased, so they tell him that it is big. When they can't find the snake in Sam's garden, they assume it is at the Mokwena's house. They tell Mrs Mokwena that a very large snake may be in her garden. They can't find it there and assume it's moved onto the Allies' house. They tell Nuha that a huge snake may be in her garden. They meet other people from the neighbourhood and each time they tell them about the snake they refer to it as even larger than before. It turns out to be a small, harmless mole snake.
