Yet the sheriff had been reading a book when the snake struck.

He found out when the snake struck from cover.

She poked the end of the stick forward, and at the same time the snake struck.

These snakes can be fierce and will strike from the position described above.

The poor girl had just signed her own death warrant, and now the snake would strike.

Very few people had enough nerve to push things to the point where the snake would strike.

IT would seem that the enemy was spent, at least the snakes did not strike outward again.

The snake struck, then; the very thing Susie had intended for it to do.

She came within range and the snake struck again.

The snake had the hawk cornered now, and would strike at any second.
