This sentence is probably talking about FASTS. This is a special meaning of the word FAST. It doesn't mean QUICK, it means "not eating" (usually, deliberately).
- This sentence is probably talking about FASTS.
- This is a special meaning of the word FAST.
- It doesn't mean QUICK, it means "not eating" (usually, deliberately).
- For example, people who follow certain religions will deliberately eat nothing on certain days of the year, and sometimes people will FAST when they are dieting heavily.
- In this sentence, the snake doesn't DELIBERATELY choose to eat nothing for a year - it's forced to eat nothing because it can't find any food, so FAST is probably not the best word, but it conveys the idea.
