A few weeks ago, a construction crew working on a sprawling South Carolina estate spotted something through a client’s window that made everyone freeze.
Tucked between the hedges and the side of the house sat a pair of loyal geese, nestled protectively on their eggs. But the couple wasn’t alone — and their uninvited guest had deadly intentions.
Coiled right inside their nest was a large snake, already sizing up the eggs for his next meal.
Too frightened to fight him off, the geese stood by in helpless horror as the snake began to wrap his jaws around one of their precious eggs. It seemed like there was nothing they could do.
But someone else could.
Knowing the homeowner loved these geese like pets, construction worker Micaiah rushed outside to help. With calm hands and a brave heart, he scooped up the snake to gently relocate him — stopping the egg theft just in time.
As soon as Micaiah intervened, the snake gave up on swallowing the egg, sparing the goose parents from a heartbreaking loss.
And the best part? Everyone made it out OK.
“The snake’s great — he lives on a 53-acre estate with plenty of food sources, as you can tell by his size!” Newlin Construction shared. “And the owner’s geese are safely hatching goslings.”
The crisis ended with no casualties — thanks to one worker who refused to let the birds face danger alone.
