Snake-stones

Okay kiddo, I'm going to tell you about snake-stones. Some people believe that when a snake eats something sharp, like a thorn or a bone, it can get stuck in their body and make them really sick. Snake-stones, also known as serpentine stones, are believed to be special rocks that can help snakes get rid of these sharp things in their body.

The way it works is that the snake eats the snake-stone and then it makes its way through the snake's body. As it travels through, it rubs against the sharp object and helps push it out of the snake's body.

Some people also believe that snake-stones have magical powers and can protect against snake bites. But it's important to remember that these ideas are just beliefs and have not been proven to be true. It's always best to stay away from snakes and not try to handle them or use things like snake-stones to protect yourself.

So there you have it, snake-stones are special rocks that some people believe can help snakes get rid of sharp objects in their body and protect against snake bites, but we should always be careful around snakes.
