Did Smart have a choice? Did he dare make another choice? He didn't want to die!
So, without any other options, he gave in. "I... I agree! Just get that big python away, please!"
Initially, Danny was inclined to keep playing with Smart, but noticing the girls' fear of the snakes, he decided to stop messing with Smarty for the time being. Once again, he put his fingers to his lips and whistled sharply.
"Shh!"
With this whistle, the multitude of snakes that had surrounded them dispersed, slipping away into the dense undergrowth in minutes.
"Shh!"
Danny blew a second whistle. Following that sound, the large python that had been threatening Smart slowly descended the tree trunk. It hit the ground and slithered into the bushes. Soon after, the grass quieted down, and nobody knew where the python had gone off to.
Looking up at Smart still clinging to the branch, Danny called out with a grin, "The python's gone, Smarty. You planning to hang out in that tree all night, or are you coming down now?"
"How... how do I get down?" Smart asked.
Glancing down at the ground seven or eight meters below, he became anxious. He had climbed up the tree in a panic, his instincts fully kicked in. But now that the danger had passed, he clearly lacked the ability to get down.
Owing to the swift slide, Smart's private area suffered insane friction.
Landing on the ground, he felt a burning sensation between his legs, as if the skin on his thighs had been rubbed raw. Clutching himself, he yelled at Danny, "Country boy, what did you do?"
"What did I do?"
"You told me to slide down slowly, but how did I end up going so fast that it burns and my skin's all chafed?"
"I told you to slide down slowly! But if you decided to slide so fast, what can I do? Besides, your 'equipment' wasn't of much use anyway, so it being a bit shorter shouldn't make a difference," Danny replied, leaving Smart in shock..
