Round two (ding!). So, today right after school, I saw two African men running 
really fast in the backyard of the school house accompanied with really loud banging noises. I had the most natural reaction that most people would have.....SNAKE! Ok, maybe not your but here - definitely first reaction. I jumped up from my chair, looked out my window and saw Chaula ( the guard) and another African standing near the pig pen with pieces of wood raised up above their heads. I yelled down and asked Chaula if it was a snake and sure enough - it was. So, I grabbed my camera and ran down stairs to see it. When I got out the door - Chaula and his friend were walking toward the gate with the dead snake. I asked if it was dead. His friend laughed at me and told me it was dead. I asked Chaula what type of snake it was, and he said that in French they call it a Cobra. Now, I'm not sure about you, but I don't care what language I hear the word "Cobra" in - it only means one thing. So, I did the next natural "American" thing and asked them to stop so that I could take a picture. They laughed at me. Well deserved I'm sure but I don't care cause I got the picture. Chaula also said that he figured it was the male snake coming in the look for the female snake (which is the one he killed earlier this week). This time - I have a picture! Chaula is the one on the right, not holding the snake.
