White snake that ‘told man’ to marry sister-in-law
Source: Daily Nation (Kenya)

When a woman saw a white snake in her kitchen, little did she know that the reptile would call for marriage celebrations between her husband and another woman, a week later.

On March 5, she spotted the snake on one of the posts holding the roof of her grass thatched kitchen in their home in Busonga Village of Budalang’i.

Villagers tried to kill the snake, but they could not reach it as the roof is high, and villagers feared the pure white serpent. They smoked the house for three days, but the snake refused to leave.

Some claimed their hands lacked the strength to kill the serpent. Two days later, the snake had not crept away, so the woman decided to call her husband to inform him of the visitor.

Probably not the first time White Snake has been the catalyst for a shot-gun wedding.

But, didn't they break up? Maybe this was their 'Re-Union' tour. :)

7. Yes, exactly the same as playing it forward.
Still sounds terrible.

12. My White Snake
I have gotten in plenty of trouble in the past listening to my white snake. However; as I have gotten older, I have learned not to let my white snake do my thinking for me. (Or least not as much) :P
