There was a man called Zoba.

Zoba was a father.
Zoba's son was Azibo.
One day Zoba and Azibo went for a walk.
They saw a suitcase.
"Pick it up and we will take it home," said Zoba.
Azibo picked up the suitcase and put it on his head.
On the way home, a snake came out of the suitcase!
Azibo dropped the suitcase.

Father and son ran away!
