Title

Siam: Peggy's Near Death Experience and Related Stories

Description

Peggy was still a baby when she had a near death experience with a king cobra. Kenneth tells how one day he was coming back home from church when he noticed Peggy laying in front of the house, with a king cobra rearing up, getting ready to strike. Kenneth let out a war whoop and started swinging a cane and yelling at the cobra. The snake took off fast like an express train. Margaret explains how deadly a king cobra's bite is and tells a story about a missionary saving a woman's life from a king cobra. Kenneth explains stories in mythology about king cobras.
