Bains never attack snakes. And its a strong belief that snakes never bite Bains. Bains ancestors are very strict with rules. Bains ancestors have strictly ordered not to give money on lease, never take anything on credit, never abuse bains daughters, never allow girls to touch feet, respect elders and ancestors.
