He escorted his old mistress
To the forest fetching firewood
Unaware into a python’s trap
Old mistress had fallen
The python coiling her
Yet he could only bark
In vain unnoticed
Old mistress really needed help
Advanced close; a deep bite
Uncoiling her; needle stings felt
Trying to pick up a fight
A deep breath; old mistress relieved
Freed hurrying to the village
To gather some hunters
In no time going back
With the hunters for a rescue
Reaching the very spot
No guard in vicinity
Only the python; looking close
Its tummy more bulge out
