The Decision to Investigate Further
Endowed with curiosity and interest, the workers chose that they could not go without knowing more of this snake and what was this creature’s mysterious meal. Tossed about by fear first, they were called upon to find out more about the mysteries hidden in the belly of the swollen creature. They felt that perhaps this was once in a lifetime opportunity to see nature up close and raw.
After some brief discussion, they finally decided to somehow carefully approach the snake. They came up with the idea to hit the midsection of the snake using long sticks and some makeshift tools so as not to disturb the snake much. The workers were hesitant in getting closer, for they dreaded what would happen if they were too close. Their combined curiosity, however prevailed, and they cautiously moved forward to examine it.
The others sat a little further off and watched from that distance, ready to sound the snake alert in case the creature stirred. The rest moved forward inch by inch just to catch a glimpse of the bulge in this snake but kept staring into its eyes. Their throbbing hearts readied themselves for the moment they would solve this great mystery, step by step to the inevitable unforgettable discovery.
