A
Cross-Spiece Friendship

One of the most endearing
Chinese love legends is about the romance between
a Chinese man and a white snake.
But now it's no longer
just a legend, well, almost.
Eight years ago, 23-year
old Chinese peasant Huang Kaining, of Hainan Province, saved an injuried baby
snake in the field. He brought it home and
nurtured it back to health.
The snake gradually grew
big and strong, so does the cross-spiece
friendship between the two. Once Huang injured
his leg while doing fieldwork and was kept
bedridden for half a month. During that peired,
the snake silently stayed at his bedside to keep
him company, not for one moment did it wander
off. Since then, the two become such good mates
that they share the same bed even after Huang got
married to his wife.

When Huang's son joined
the party, the snake offered itself as a
full-time nanny, nursing the baby day and night.
As the boy grows older, the snake turns itself to
be a playmate and swimming coach for him, and for
his little friends, being their life-saving
guard.
