I, like many other children, every summer we go to grandma's village. Personally, I absolutely do not want to spend the vacation in a stuffy city.

The village, my grandmother's is located practically next to the forest. From village, to forest, can be reached in just ten minutes. Apparently that is why the village often meet a snake, I must say, I'm very scared of them.

On vacation, my grandmother often go to the forest. They collect berries, mushrooms and nuts. Sometimes go into the woods in order to gain useful medicinal herbs. My grandmother knows how to treat many diseases with traditional methods. For these purposes, she needs these plants.

Once, when my grandmother went to the forest for mushrooms, grass, I crawled toward the serpent. I was very scared with fear not even realized that it was a harmless snake. Very quickly began to run away, calling her grandma.

When my screams ran to her, she asked me what was wrong. I told her that she saw the snake, described what it was. Grandma explained to me that it was so, nor the danger, he provides. But I was still scared, I could not calm down in any way. I thought to myself that after today's event, never go into the woods. I was hurt from what my grandma calls me a coward.

Home we went, only once scored a whole basket of mushrooms. On the road, my grandmother told me the interesting properties of medicinal plants. And soon, I even forgot about the snake, and promised the grandmother that tomorrow will once again go into the forest.
