As they cleared the path, one worker froze, his heart pounding. Out of nowhere, he backed away, face pale with fear. From the thick bushes came something that scared him to death. The rest of the crew rushed over — and they saw a massive, unexpected challenge that would halt their work.
Charles kept asking Olivia if she was okay, worried about her strange behavior. But she brushed him off each time. Her annoyance grew with every question, leaving him confused.
Suddenly, their tension was broken by a sight that would stop anyone. Slithering into view was an anaconda — and not just any anaconda. It was the biggest they’d ever seen, its huge body slowly crossing the end of the clearing they’d just made. The workers stood still, in awe and fear as the enormous snake wound its way through, its size both amazing and terrifying.
The workers hoped the snake would just go away so they could get back to work. But as it slowed and coiled up, it was clear it wasn’t leaving. It seemed the giant reptile had decided to stay.
