The Workers’ Personal Reflection on the Experience
The encounter would be something more for the workers than the surprise of accidentally upon a treasure-which was going to be a life-changeful experience. They were observers of something seldom beautiful; they were privileged enough to see an event that many will only hear about. A snake was no longer anything ordinary but an incarnation of power, endurance, and mystery that will engrave each of their minds. As they close the day, they see lots in their hearts that they are thankful for having experienced such a thing.
Of course, they had all taken something personal away from this experience. Some had, more consciously than ever before, rediscovered respect for the natural world; others had developed new motivations to learn about wildlife and conservation. The lesson would unite them, connecting them on an emotional level as a result of this moment of awe. They came to understand that the snake had given them something: the gift of new eyes.
The workers agreed that they could never forget the giant snake and the lessons it had taught them. Change had been brought about to them, bringing a sense of value that ought to be placed in the mysteries of life together with the respect for nature. They hoped that sharing this experience would inspire other people who could, in turn, begin to appreciate the wildlife around them, living in a world where man and animals can peacefully exist together.
