Another tryst with big cobra, small cobra and a krate

Another tryst with big cobra, small cobra and a krate

This big fellow was very courageous! He just can’t tolerate his enemies entering his territory.
Rusty was strolling along the roadside in search of something interesting. He got a find of his lifetime!
A Big Cobra!
Oh My God! He started barking and Cobra started charging. His continuous barking brought me out of my home. He was just not listening to anyone. The moment he saw me, Rusty was more brave and started getting closer. I was afraid that Cobra might bite him, so I kept away and watched from distance. All the other people of the colony came out to see his courageous feat. One person had a brainwave. He threw some water on him. This calmed him and I was able to catch him. I heaved a sigh of relief and Cobra thankfully left the place, scared and shaken. We all were so happy that Rusty came out of trouble unscathed.

Another day, Rusty’s strong nose caught a familiar scent. He started his intent search. Behind the bushes! Along the boundary line! Near the pond! Amongst the earthen pots! And there his search ended! He found his catch! It was a medium sized Cobra!
He was so intelligent that he somehow trapped this cobra amongst the pots in such a way that Cobra’s tail was caught between a pot. This made the movement of Cobra impossible. He could just hiss and charge with his hood.
Very Intelligent Boy!
Then he scared the snake with his continuous bark.
We caught Rusty and locked him inside the house and called for help. Cobra was caught and released in the forest.

One sunny day, Rusty again encountered a small cobra in my kitchen garden. This cobra recently removed his skin. This made the cobra very sluggish and vulnerable. The new skin was shining and Cobra wanted to move to safe place.
Hmm! Rusty got to know about his plans and attacked Cobra. He really knew how to get Cobra. He caught cobra with his neck with his mouth deftly and quickly threw the snake on the ground injuring it. The snake was hit in this way many times. This made the snake almost dead. Controlling and catching Rusty was very difficult because he learnt to dodge me. He understood that I would catch him and lock him. Then he won’t get at his enemy. But I caught him somehow. I called guard and ask him to release the Cobra to safe place.
By Jove! Rusty was Brave Boy!

At night, Rusty used to go out on his own for a little stroll and to answer nature’s call. All of a sudden barking Rusty caught our attention. We went out to explore the reason for his excited barks.
Voila! Another snake!
This time it was Krate!
This Krate was one of the most poisonous species of snake. Rusty got hold of this dangerous snake. He was barking and made this snake to hide between the crevices of the damaged wall. But snake was visible and Rusty was trying very hard to get at the snake through his strong paws. Snake was lucky that Rusty could not reach him.
We caught Rusty and brought him inside the house forcefully. Then snake moved out safely for his night stroll.
God saved the Snake!
