Heroic Israeli Roomba Saves Children From Deadly Viper
 

One evening last week Efi turned the robot on and left the house. When she returned she tried to turn it back on though it kept beeping and getting stuck. When she opened the machine she discovered that the machine prevented the small viper from occupying the home and hurting her young children. “He was probably looking for a place to hide in one of the rooms because of the upcoming winter.” Eli explains. The snake was wound thoroughly around the cleaning wheel and has received injuries to his head. by the time Eli returned home the viper died of its wounds. “I like snakes, so for me its somewhat a tragic ending” says Eli.

You got young children and you leave them behind in the house?


That must be Israeli parenting for you...

where do you read that?

Based on the Israelis I know, they probably expected the kid to handle the snake all on their own and they were just disappointed that the Roomba got there first.
