Pythons - the whole story

Each week, we pick an animal to study. Kostya has to help me research it, look at pictures, color a picture of one and then tell me some stories about it.

This week, it was pythons. Here are the most important points, as per Kostya.

Pythons come in green, black/brown/white, albino, and yellow/brown/white/gray.

They have a forked tongue, two eyes and can be up to 35 feet (longer than TWO of our Suburbans together).

They live in jungles of Asia, Africa and Australia

They eat pigs, deer and sheep.

Here's Kostya's rendition of the python's color. Below the picture are his stories about pythons. Before I sat down to write what he would say, I could hear him in the other room practicing what his story would be about.

It starts with a python snake driving a monster truck. He runs over another snake that wants to eat him. Then a superhero comes in and cuts up the python. And the snake is the superhero's pet. And the superhero unlocked the cave he was in.

And then the next story:

A big rhinoceros and the superhero shoved out his big monster gun and shot the rhinoceros's' eye, like, "BOOOSH". And then the next day, he heard a "Voom, Voom, Voosh" and it was a monster truck and another superhero shoved out his gun and shot it. A lion was driving a monster truck and the motor went driving over a big huge monster python who was THIS big and THIS high.
