Though Robert felt a little strange，he did not think about it too much and sat down for a rest on a bench in the park．Then he noticed the snake he had just seen climbing up the bench．Robert was too afraid to move away from the bench．Right at this moment，a woman behind him shouted，"Come here，Robert．You can't stay on the bench like that．People will be scared by you．"
