It is rumored that in a remote village in the Amazon rainforest in South America, a small tribal family awoke one morning to find one of their sons missing. The boy, their youngest son, had been lying next to their two other sons when they went to sleep but when they awoke they found in his place a huge anaconda. The anaconda was sluggish and bloated from just having eaten. And inside the anaconda, the outline of their missing son could be clearly seen. The father grabbed his machete and sliced off the anaconda's head, and then slit the snake's distended belly carefully open. Inside they found their missing son, completely intact but unfortunately dead.
