Alfred drew out his dagger and threw it swiftly, hitting the big snake he saw trying to harm his brother. The dagger, understanding its mission, pinned the snake down before it could complete its attack.
Albert watched with wide eyes as his brother aimed a dagger at him. Confusion filled his mind as he wondered why his brother would do such a thing.

As he turned to follow the dagger with his eyes, he saw it pinning down a snake that was about to bite him. The snake had been directly behind his head. His brother meant no harm; he had actually been saving him. Albert felt guilty for doubting him.
"That struck right into its head," he heard his brother remark. "Why do you look so tense?" he asked.
"Why don't I try aiming a dagger at you?" Albert questioned coldly. He turned to face his brother and said, "I thought you had grown tired of me and wanted to kill me."
