All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother"s ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard
and found a big snake entwining(纠缠) the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake"s mouth.
It was a fearless mother"s love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet (斧头)from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.
One...two... With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a
mass of solid rubber. The little boy"s voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa"s heart was
broken and she nearly went mad.
Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak(牛排). Lisa was really mad.
