Siam: Kenneth on When He Almost Got Eaten By a Crocodile

Siam: Kenneth on When He Almost Got Eaten By a Crocodile

One day Kenneth and his evangelist couldn't find a place to sleep for the night, so they decided to spend the night in their dugout canoe. Kenneth went to sleep and began to have a nightmare of sorts, a feeling that all was not well, and that somehow the boat was tipping over. Suddenly, he realized that it was tipping over. He looked and saw the front legs of a crocodile that was pulling at the boat and preparing to make a grab at him. As the croc pulled down on the boat on one side, Kenneth flipped out the other side. "I really levitated." He or a part of him would have become a meal for a crocodile.
