I really enjoyed reading Shinga's story.  But, I kept thinking. . , it sure would be a b@tch to discovered on the day she gave birth to her offspring that one popped out and it was a snake.  LOL

"Look, Shinga!  A lovely baby boy!  Yes, he does have 10 fingers and 10 toes.  Oh, and look what else popped out, Shinga.  It appears you have had twins.  A lovely, wriggling snake.  Yes, it does appear to have all of its scale, Shinga!"

*grin*  Fascinating read, Naut.

Thanks, Muser
I'm fine, the thumb is getting better, and although it will never be restored to its former beauty, I think I'll soon be doing battle on the squash court again...

Nautikos, it is said that every cloud has a silver lining... Your accident
has brought you into contact with some interesting people. How are you feeling now? How is your thumb; the prognosis?

as I understand it, 'nag' is the term for a male snake, 'nagin' that for a female...

nautikos,
An Indian friend of mine told me that Nag is short for Nagin in Hindi meaning 'snake'. According to the hindus, Nagin is sacred.

Troosha,
I agree, especially when you get it told to you in person, as I was fortunate enough to experience it...

Wondeful story/legeng/belief - but more charming was the manner in which she told it.

Make a wonderful children's TV program, don't you think? Or a stroy, maybe?
