Snake

A first-grader today, hard at work drawing and coloring a picture of a snake, repeated to me the story told to him by his father about the Bronx Zoo’s missing Egyptian cobra. 
“Somebody left the door open on his cage,” he said, “and the snake escaped.” 
Oh, so the snake ran away, I teased him. 
“No, he slithered away.”
