I had not thought I would have to go down into the pit with snakes in order to catch them so I was wearing the 36 sort of clothes. I explained this to my friends yet they very kindly lent me these trousers and shoes which were quite 37 and strong. So as I could think of 38 excuses they tied the rope round my waist and started to 39 me into the pit. Just before I landed on the bottom I 40 up and told them to stop lowering me. I wanted to 41 the ground that I was going to land on to make sure there were no snakes in the way. The area being 42 I shouted to them to lower away and at that moment 43 things happened.
Firstly the 44 went out; secondly one of the shoes which I had 45 from my friends and which were too 46 for me came off. So there I was standing at the 47 of the ten-foot-deep pit with no light and no shoe on one foot 48 by seven or eight deadly Baboon snakes. I had never been more 49 . I had to wait in the dark without daring to move while my friends 50 the lamp out lit it again and lowered it into the pit again.
With plenty of light and both shoes on I felt much 51 and began with the task of catching snakes. This was really easy enough. I had a 52 stick in my hand and with this I came near each snake pinned it down with the fork and then picked it up by the back of the neck and put it into my snake bag. What I had to 53 out for was that while I was busy catching one snake another might move round 54 me and I might step back on it. However it all passed without 55 . And by the end of half an hour I had caught eight of the Baboon snakes.
