The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from My Antonia by Willa Cather: so easily do.
When grandmother was ready to go, I said I would like to stay up there
in the garden awhile.
She peered down at me from under her sunbonnet.
`Aren't you afraid of snakes?'
`A little,' I admitted, `but I'd like to stay, anyhow.'
`Well, if you see one, don't have anything to do with him.
The big yellow and brown ones won't hurt you; they're bull-snakes
and help to keep the gophers down. Don't be scared if you
see anything look out of that hole in the bank over there.
That's a badger hole. He's about as big as a big 'possum,
