This is a true story that my uncle has witnessed on holiday and i have wrote about it.
On a typically hot, sri lankan afternoon kids where rushing home from school to see their parents and discuss what they had planned to do that evening. However, a group of older youths where walking together. The main leaders of what you call their possy wheir pathumani and kavarli who wheir the populars at jaffna union college.
As they walked round the curve of the road they passed the shadow of the tree and saw two snakes kissing each other. The young hormone buzzing teen girls wanted to show how cool they were by throwing a stone at the mating snakes. The two of them slithered after the two children as pathumani and kavarli went their own seperate ways to their old house.
When they reached their house their father beat the snakes with a stick and burnt them.
The next day the two girls woke up and started to hiss and dance like a snake. Their mothers burst into tears and they begged their daughters to speak but they couldn't all they could do was hissssss.
Their is a famous sri lankan wives tale about if you break up two snakes mostly cobra's because this only happens every 60 years or so then you will be punished by the great Lord Krishna.
And so the two families are still outside temples praying and waiting for forgiveness till this very day.....
They were punished because they broke up two souls in love so do not do anything and most of all do not kill!!!
