New best friend: Sidhi shrieks with delight as a giant python weaves through her tiny legs |
The non-venomous snake could easily squeeze Sidhi to death or swallow
her whole. But her father, Siddharth Sinune, said he cannot afford to
buy her toys – instead bringing home his prey from his job as a snake
catcher. Before putting them back in the forests, he keeps them at home
for his only daughter’s amusement. Siddharth said: ‘Sidhi has an unusual
bonding with the snakes and surprisingly they too like to play with
her. ‘Being a poor farmer, I can’t buy her costly toys but I can get her
snakes to play with.
