Suzie Slither's Silly Supper

It was a beautiful, clear Autumn day at the farm Suzie Slither called home. Suzie was a pretty little snake, as snakes go. About fourteen inches long, she was green with orange and brown stripes. Her colors blended in quite nicely with the leaves falling around her on the rock where she was napping this afternoon. Suddenly Suzie woke, very hungry. After all, she had not eaten anything in more than a week! She slithered down to the barn, where she knew she could always find mice in the hayloft. Suzie did not know about the barn owl who now sat high on the rafters watching the whole barn. Owls love to eat little snakes.
