Jennifer and the Snake

Here is my friend Jennifer. Here is a story she told me recently that I found compelling:

So, my wild nature moment for the week came when I attacked a black snake
with a baseball bat. It had swallowed 2 of our 3 ducklings and had the third in
its mouth. I pummeled it and it rattled just like a rattle snake. The duckling
in the mouth survived and is doing well. My dad showed up and hacked the snake's
head off with a machete. Then he whipped out his pocket knife and cut the other
two ducklings out of its stomach. We tried our best to resuscitate them, but no
luck. Never a dull moment around here.
