Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Giant snake showed way to safety Susie O'Brien 31dec04 AN elephant and a snake the size of a telephone pole helped save the lives of children. Tsunami pictures Day 1 | Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 The amazing animal rescue stories buoyed rescuers as the grim task of searching for tsunami survivors continues. An Indonesian woman from the devastated province of Aceh had a remarkable story of survival. She saved two children by following a giant snake to navigate flood waters. Riza, 26, a clothes seller from the village of Penayang, was helplessly dragged in raging currents after the giant tsunami hit. " Thousands of people were screaming hysterically and were panicking as they saw the water rise higher than their houses, " she said. As rising waters carried her out of her house, she was dragged towards her neighbour, who was struggling to hold on to her nine-year-old twins. " Please save my twins, just let me go, as long as they're safe, " Riza recalled the mother saying. She grabbed the twins and placed them on her back. As she struggled through the torrent she saw a gigantic snake gliding to her left. She followed in its wake until she found land. " Strangely I felt no fear, " Riza said. " Thank God, with the power I had left, I managed to go to higher ground and the water was only a metre high. " Riza said the twins were bruised and battered, but safe. There was no word on the fate of their mother. In Thailand, a British tourist said several children were playing on a beach when the tsunami struck. They were saved after being placed on the back of a circus elephant. Laura Barnett, 40, said the children were led to safety by the elephant's keeper, riding on the back of the giant beast.
