Ans.                               The Snake and the Mirror

The doctor heard a dull thud. He felt as if a rubber tube had fallen on to the ground. No sooner did he turn than he had the greatest shock of his life. A fat snake wriggled over the back of the chair. It landed on his shoulder. He didn’t jump. He didn’t tremble. He did not cry either. There was no time to do any such thing. The snake coiled around his left arm. Its head was spread out. It was three or four inches away from his face. The doctor remembered God and felt His presence. He felt some pain in his left arm.

It was drained of all strength. The snake turned and looked into the mirror and saw its reflection. Perhaps it was admiring its beauty. The snake unwound itself from the doctor’s arm. It crept on to the table and again moved towards the mirror. Perhaps it wanted to enjoy his reflection at close quarters. Then a dull thud again and the snake disappeared at once the way it had appeared. The doctor was a man of’ flesh and blood again.
