Many believe that animals are just beasts meant to be tamed and put to work. More and more have slowly come to the understanding that animals are alive and have much to say if only you listen. The problem is, we misinterpret the animals words because they speak a language of emotions rather than words. Their speech is full of meaning, more than ours will ever be. I have been gifted. While other men and women are presented the gifts of life, be it a skill in farming or a talent in architecture, I was given a gift that has never been gifted before. Oddly enough, it all began with a snake.
