NEWS COMICS — Reports have emerged from the capital city that a snake has done the unthinkable by swallowing a school certificate belonging to a top government official. Sources close to the official say the snake slithered into the office on a hot summer afternoon and made a beeline for the certificate, which was framed and mounted on the wall.
According to eyewitnesses, the snake coiled itself around the frame, gave the certificate a quick lick, and then swallowed it whole. Shocked employees who had gathered around the scene were heard screaming and shouting, prompting security personnel to respond.
The government official in question, who has requested anonymity, is said to be distraught and inconsolable. "I can't believe this has happened," the official reportedly said. "I worked so hard to get that certificate and now a snake has gone and swallowed it."
The snake, meanwhile, has become somewhat of a celebrity, with animal rights activists clamoring to know its whereabouts. Unfortunately, its whereabouts are unknown, as it slithered off into the sunset soon after swallowing the certificate.
In a statement released to the press, the government official vowed to retake the exam to replace the now-digested certificate. Plans are in motion to have the official attend night classes, so as not to affect their normal work schedule.
"I will not let this setback define me," the official declared, heroically. "I will rise from the ashes and show the world that I am more than just a piece of paper."
The incident has sparked fierce debate on social media, with some users praising the snake for its audaciousness, while others have called for stricter measures to ensure snakes don't waltz into offices and swallow important documents.
In the meantime, the search for the snake continues, with authorities urging the public to remain vigilant. "We will not rest until we have found this serpent," a spokesperson for the government said. "We owe it to the people, and of course, to the official who lost their certificate."
As for the official, it seems the snake's actions have inadvertently given them a new lease on life. "Who knows?" the official mused. "Maybe I'll go back to school and become a doctor or a rocket scientist. The sky's the limit."
With such a positive attitude, it seems nothing can stop this official. Not even a snake.
