Snake. Snake.

[gunshot]

You ain't even hit that thing.

Get him.

Get him.

NARRATOR: In Bayou Sorrel, veteran swamper Willie Edwards

and his some Little Willie are facing

the unluckiest day of the year.

I got a little place I called the graveyard.

WILLIE EDWARDS: Like watching you.

LITTLE WILLIE: As far as all that bad luck and all that,

I ain't got time for that.

I don't believe in all that bad luck.

Oh, I believe in good luck now.

Bad luck, no.

Cut off your arm, it's an accident.

Or, like, it was a mistake.

If you believe in all that superstitious stuff

and bad luck, that means more bad stuff

is going to happen to you.

More bad luck is going to happen and everything,

and that's not the way to go.

I can't see nothing.

Oh!

Snake, snake.

I mean, that little bitty old snake,

he wasn't about maybe 12 inches, and he can take your life.

He got just as much venom as the big one got.

And trying to be careful with him,

and I don't want to get him hurt.

LITTLE WILLIE: Look at his yellow little tail.

Of them, and I was 9 years old,

and I could've lost my life.

For, like, two weeks, three weeks.

Don't want to get bit by one of them things.

And glad he got that lesson.

I know there's some big alligators here

in the graveyard.

LITTLE WILLIE: Right there, on the bank.

He's up there on the bank-- big one!

[suspenseful music]

[gunshot]

LITTLE WILLIE: You missed him.

[gunshot]

LITTLE WILLIE: That line's going to pop.

That gator's coming alive.

Watch out.

He's still alive.

Right there.

Right there.

Daggone!

[gunshots]

[inaudible]

Woo!

It was a close call on that one.

I mean, it was real close.

That thing right there, he knock you down on top,

and he going to bite you.

And that thing bite you, he can hurt you.

He can break bones and when he crushes you,

it won't mean anything, whatever he grabs.

LITTLE WILLIE: Thing's huge-- that's a brute right here.

NARRATOR: At well over 11 feet, this big bull

breaks the bad-luck streak that Willie and Little

Willie have been on all day.

Yeah, you can end up with good luck on Friday the 13th.

I mean, you just gotta have patience and stick

around a little while.

Something's going to pop up.

Yeah, we finally caught the real graveyard gator.

LITTLE WILLIE: That's what I'm talking about.
