The snake in the waterbutt!!

The children, lead by Kashia, (the resident little white girl from Tanzania, whose mother is a vet for the gorillas...what a job hey?!) decided that there was a snake in this waterbutt!! I don't think there was anything remotely snake-like in there, but they spent hours looking at it... "touching" it, and being "bitten" by it! There are four of these big waterbutts at the four corners of the building to catch rain water from the gutter which can then be used for washing clothes and the car etc. But these kids have brilliant imaginations - the games they play are just gorgeous to watch!
