The Girl Who Offered Herself to the Serpent God

A backpacker came to our village and was about to step into the shrine.

I told her that would show disrespect to the Snake God, and that the Snake God would be furious!

She wouldn't listen, saying we were just superstitious and old-fashioned.

"There's no such thing as a Snake God. I'll go in and take a picture to prove it."

You can't save someone who's determined to get themselves killed.

Our village has a custom of sacrificing young girls to the Snake God, but in recent years, no one wanted to send their daughters anymore.

Well, look at that. Someone's come along to offer herself up.

Everyone must be thrilled, right?
