Keeper. Bobert Hess, who , for 10 years
ha safely handled every death-dealing

near being devoured by Lady, a giant

a body about the alee. -of -a Small tree

That'' the only way to get a python to

wasn't watching her as closely as J,
ought. The first thing J knew she threw
her hei up with her mouth wide open
and got the duck and my hand and wrist
tOO. ',..'
Thett she closed her law down. If you
don't luww what a python' mouth, la
like' you don't know what that means.
They -bar six row of Inch-long teeth,
to in a row,,. The teeth point backward
and they're ; sharp a needlea. She bad
me in 120 place.
lt would't be long, I knew, before
Lady would start to grind and swallow,
That'd be gooa-by arm. ' It was up to me
to- do- (omething right quick. ,-.'..
It -hurt, but I wasn't thinking about
that. I generally 'carry a big knife to
