A little boy often passed through my street, and every time he saw me, he would point at my belly and say only one thing:
— “You are carrying a snake inside you. Stop this pregnancy. Do not bring it into the world.” 😱 😨
I was 24 years old, I was married. I owned a large shopping center, and every Friday I would go to check how things were going. At that time, I was two months pregnant. My husband was a very good man.
One Friday, on my way home, I saw that boy. He was about 11 years old. He was wearing worn-out clothes and holding old bottles. He wandered aimlessly in the street.
As soon as he saw me, he stopped. He pointed at my belly with his dirty finger and said:
— “You are carrying a snake. Please, have an abortion, otherwise you will have a snake-girl at home. After that, it will be too late, because she is immortal.”
I became angry.
— “Are you crazy? Where are your parents? I will report them! If you say that again, you will have problems,” I shouted.
But the boy was not afraid. He laughed and continued on his way.
— “I am very serious,” he said, looking straight into my eyes.
— “You are not carrying a human. It is a snake. Go to the hospital before it’s too late. I warned you.”
I tried to catch him, but he ran fast and disappeared. I went home very disturbed. When my husband came home, we had dinner together and I told him what had happened. He was surprised… then he started to laugh.
— “Wait,” he said.
— “Today I also met a boy who said the same thing. I offered him money, but he refused. He kept talking about a snake.”
— “It’s the same boy,” I said.
— “What nonsense… to say that I am carrying a snake. That’s impossible.”
My husband took my hand.
— “Don’t pay attention to it. Everything will be fine. The baby will be born healthy. It’s just a strange child.”
I tried to calm down. But that night, lying in my bed, his words kept echoing in my head.
How is it possible to be pregnant with a snake? Has this ever happened in history? Who was that strange boy… 👇 You can read the rest in the first comment. 👇👇👇
That night, I couldn’t sleep. The boy’s words kept spinning in my mind, and despite all my efforts to ignore them, a strange anxiety had settled inside me.
Finally, I decided it would be better to see a doctor. At the hospital, they sent me for an ultrasound. At first, I was calm, but the doctor kept looking at the screen for a long time… in silence.
— “There is a small problem,” he finally said.
My heart stopped.
— “What problem…?”
He explained that there was a complication in the baby’s development, but since it had been detected very early, it was possible to treat it before birth. I was in shock… but at the same time grateful that I had come in time. The following weeks were filled with treatments, examinations, and check-ups. I did everything to make sure my baby was healthy.
With time, the doctors began to smile.
— “Everything is going well,” they said.
— “The problem is under control.”
And finally, the day of birth arrived. This time, without fear, but with great anticipation. When I heard my baby’s first cry… tears streamed down my face. My child… was perfectly healthy. Everything went well. A few days later, already at home, I was sitting in silence… when suddenly, I remembered that boy. His words… his gaze… If he hadn’t been there… if I hadn’t gone to the doctor…
Maybe the problem would have been discovered too late. Maybe it would have been too late. I realized that, as strange as his words were, he had been the reason I acted in time. And my baby’s life was saved. Since that day, I have never seen him again… But one thought stayed with me: sometimes, even the strangest words can save a life… 💔 ❤️
