Little school girls going into their morning class at a Saudi school chorused a loud scream, slammed the door and ran away. There was a snake in the class.

The management of the girl school in the southern town of Bisha had to call in the only man in that area—the school guard.

“He went into class with a big stick, jumped on the snake and finished it off…he then carried the dead snake and threw it out of the school,” 'Sabq' daily said.
