The Ssssssnake

At the Deltona YMCA, after my mom was done with combat (exercise class) she talked with her friend ms. Mel and she pointed out a garden snake to me. I asked "Can I go outside and get a closer look?". She said, "Ok". I ran outside and got about two feet away from the snake. After it slithered away, I went inside. I waited for a little bit and my mom pointed  it out again. I went back outside and got about a 1/2 foot away. I went close enough to the snake to touch it. Then it slithered away, again. That was the last time I saw the snake.
