Nice story mate.
Many years ago when friends visited from
Sydney we drove about 200 metres for a picnic on the banks of our little creek. While playing baseball we spotted this rather large python heading our way. Yikes!
Well our party was 2 ladies, 2
young boys and Moi. We all headed over for a look and returned to our game or, in the case of the women, more wine and chatter. But 'Monty' just kept on coming our way.
After a while he was up and under my Hilux and in
the springs. Then we heard what he must have known about all along, the boom, boom boom of thunder in the distance.
Because we were worried he might get hurt if we drove off, we all trotted
home on foot leaving Monty under the car. Eventually the storm passed and we sent the kids scampering down to "
check on Monty". Several checks later they gave the all clear and the Hilux was driven
home.
I'll bet to this day those kids remember that day they look after Monty the python..
