When I was little we lived out in the country. Our house was next to a meadow. One day when I was outside by myself, playing, I saw something in the meadow that scared me. I ran, screaming and crying, to the door... too upset to even get it open. My mom ran to the door, thinking I must be badly hurt by the sound of things. I gasped out "Mom, there's a huge snake, with horns!". She could make little sense of this, but got me inside and calmed me down. When I was calm enough, she had me draw what I had seen. I drew a picture of a deer, lying down in the long grass. In my mind, the only thing with no legs was a snake, and I couldn't see the legs of the deer, only its back and head. Thus, the big snake with horns.
