I've had just enough time to... see a snake trying to swallow an elephant
Taken of the fisherman being swallowed by the crocodile in Kuching River
The python swallowed a cat
I know why it swallowed a cat
It was not well fed
The python swallowed a goat
No surprise it swallowed a goat
It is now filled up to the throat
But the python should not have swallowed the elephant
No, it should not have swallowed the elephant
But it was greedier than its judgement
Now the elephant has a snake skin boot on one leg
And looking for another three hungry snakes
_______
There was an old woman who swallowed a fly,
I don't know why she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
I don't know why she swallowed a fly,
Perhaps she'll die.
Snake skin boot... :D

As I was walking along the esplanade of the Kuching River which I will do every time I'm in the city I saw this statue with its gaping mouth. And in the river is a man fishing. I thought it cute so I descended a few steps and positioned my camera so it looked like the crocodile will swallow the man. At that point a Chinese proverb came to mine "人心不足蛇吞象" meaning a man's greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. I always liked this proverb as it is very graphic and while the image is ridiculous, it is also very true for I do know of people (politicians first came to mind) whose greed is as great as that and in the end, it never fails to destroy them. So this is one of the images I took that I know exactly what I want to write about :) I also liked this image for the fact that the shadow of the clouds seem to divide the river in half and I positioned this into the image as well. :D
