Biggest fear Quote by Robin Caroll
““Beyond that row was a double row of trees. Sam headed in that direction, Dad on her heels. "Be careful of snakes." That stopped her in her tracks. She could deal with a snarling dog. A hissing cat. Even a spitting ferret like her cousin Chris had, but she had the biggest fear if snakes. It didn't matter if it was a grass snake or a supposedly good snake that ate the poisonous snakes. In Sam's opinion, the only good snake was a dead snake. Dead and chopped up into little, itty, bitty pieces. ~From "Samantha Sanderson On the Scene””
