Someone shouted that, but I don’t remember who exactly (just kidding). This episode occured at the Welcome Hut, just moments before a plane full of prospects arrived. Will grabbed me just as I was returning from my dorm and said,”There’s a snake in the Welcome Hut. We’re going to get it out.” We ran down to the Welcome Hut, where concierge were all hopping from foot to foot, panicking that we wouldn’t get the  snake and it would drop down onto one of the prospects’ heads (even though it was a harmless rainbow boa (the only type of snake here) that didn’t even have fangs). Will said,”Get a chair!” About five different people rushed to get the same chair and bring it to him. Someone said “Go! Go! They’re almost here!” He clambered onto the chair, but it wasn’t tall enough! Mr. Stubbs (the assistant general manager) commanded, “Get on my shoulders!” Will managed to get on them and they teetered around trying to get into the right position. Suddenly, Will’s hand locked around the snake and he jumped to the ground as it slithered around his hand. He ran and dumped it into the bushes, and everyone let out a sigh of relief.
