106 THE 1940 ALBANIAN Miscellaneous fC071fil11L6d from Page 1042 know, when I was out in the Sierras with I. K., I had something happen to me which 1,11 bet none of you boys would ever get over. Of course you know that the mountains out there are simply infested with rattle- snakes, of which we campers had to be particularly careful. I suppose that some of the more experienced of you know that in the winter time these snakes, in large numbers, roll into one large ball, as much as for mutual protection I suppose as for anything else. Well, we happened to be out there at the time of the year when these snakes were beginning to unwind and seek water. In this state they are quite dangerous. Now then, one day I was sitting on a fallen tree near a stream, just resting and reading a book of poetry which I always took along on these trips. I. K. was sitting on the ground near me, and happening to glance at him, I saw that he had the most terrified look on his face imaginable and was staring open-mouthed at the ground between my feet. Naturally I followed his gaze, and there just between my legs was a huge rattlesnake, no less than eight feet long and as big around as the calf of my leg. A glance sufficed to show me that there was nothing to do but remain quiet, as the snake was evidently going to water. I just went on reading, with as much unconcern as possible, and after an hour or so the snake crawled away. Old I. K. was so scared I'11 bet he,s still talking about it!
