Intrigued by this whole event, R informed Ola, if the snake brings luck, he would like to see it and asked if it would come to his house.R's house is located about 12 Km away from ola's house.
So Ola hurried home.
Sure enough the snake was on the Sam's mattress, all coiled up, resting comfortably. Sam, who had been playing with the snake when it arrived, told Ola that his snake twin brother also wanted a set of school uniform to go to school just like him who is going to school early next year. Ola was almost in tears as he heard that. He said to his snake son "I am not working son. If I have extra rezeki (wealth), I will give you, my son. If you really want it, maybe R can help".
Almost 7 years ago, his son Sam was born. Being born with him was a snake, about 6 inch long, black in color, and the snake had a red mark on his left head. While Sam had red mark on his right head. For a few days after the snake was born, Ola took tender care of it, feeding him with fresh egg. The egg was placed standing up right and its top was cracked open the reveal the soft part of the egg. The snake would stick out its tongue and licked the soft part of the egg till it finished. The snake was almost unseparatable from his human twin brother. Wherever his brother was, it can be found next to him.
Then one day a shaman came over to his house. He said to Ola that, truly the snake is his own son but he came from another dimension and not of this world. He advised Ola to release it to the wild so it could return to its world.
Ola then took the snake to a forest where it was near to a spring water. He gave the snake a fresh egg for it to feed on and said to him. "Son, you are truly my own flesh and blood, but you don't belong in this world. You make your mother uncomfortable and you cannot live with us. Go to your world now, and visit us sometimes whenever you feel like it".
After the snake had finished feasting on the egg, slowly it slithered away from Ola and dissappeared into the forest.
Ola thought it was the last time he saw it but as if by magic, the snake returned to visit his son Sam. Ola knew it was the same snake as it has the same red mark on his head. But it's much longer now and bigger. It's about 3 feet long.
That night Ola had a dream. His snake son came to him and said "Dear father, it's not that you don't have rezeki, but you have given it to other people."
Ola replied that he only gave it to R, and if he really wanted he could come and see R. The snake then showed Ola a Quranic Verse in a frame and asked his father to read. Off course Ola couldn't read.
The next morning, Ola came to R's house around 10.15 am. He informed R about his snake son might come to R's house that day to visit him. But he couldn't be sure if it really would come or not. When he was in R's house he noticed that the Quranic Verse in his dream was on the wall of R's dining room. It was Verse of 1000 Dinar. He then said to R, that was what he saw last night in his dream, but he couldn't read it as he is not a Muslim and he never learn to read the Quran.
That morning Ola and R waited for the snake to come at his R's house. Around 11.30 a.m, R then went outside of his house to clean his windows, while Ola was sitting in the living room watching TV. While R was cleaning the windows, then all of sudden he saw a black snake slithering towards his direction. R said to the snake "You finaly come? Are you bringing luck and rezeki to me? If you do I welcome it, and I woill be able to give you more than what you asked". The snake raised his head to looked at R. He saw clearly the red mark on his left head. After a moment of silence looking at R, the snake lowered his head, and slithered away towards the direction of the spring water which can be found behind R's house. This spring water magically appeared behind R's house a few years ago.
R then went back into the house and said to Ola that Sam's twin brother had come. Ola replied that he knew he was present but just could't be sure of his whereabouts. "It's good that it came, now that he knew this house", said R. R said to Ola that if the snake bring luck to him, he would be willing to give anything it desired and not just a school uniform.
As for Ola he could only give the school uniform to Sam. If he works again, and has extra cash, he will provide the school uniform to his snake son.
