SNAKE AND THE MIRROR

      1. Character sketch of homeopath doctor

Homeopath doctor had just started a medical practice but his earnings were very meagre. He has only sixty rupees in his suitcase along with shirt, dhotis and not so white vest. He lived in small rented room that was not electrified. It was full of rats. He is very poor and the only luxury he had was a black coat. He was a great admirer of beauty and he believed himself as handsome. He decided to shave daily to grow a thin moustache to look more handsome. He wished to keep a smile always to look better. He wanted to marry a women doctor who had plenty of money and a good medical practice. He also wanted a fat wife so that whenever he would make a mistake his wife would not be able to catch him. But in his real life he married a thin and slender person who could run like a sprinter. He was a foolish doctor because when a snake coiled itself on his arm he was afraid because who was not aware about the medicine what he use if the snake bites him.

        5. Prepare a narrative based on the lesson the snake and the mirror.

I was living in a rented house with lots of rats. One day I was sitting on a chair in my room. When I saw myself in the mirror I decided to shave daily and look handsome. As I was lost in thoughts I heard a noise from above. Suddenly something like a rubber tube fell on floor. It was soon coiled around my left arm. I did not move and sat there holding my breath. There was a great pain on my arm. I felt afraid even to move. I had no medicine in my room. Luckily the snake turned its head and looked into the mirror. It was attracted at its own image and appeared as if appreciating its own beauty. It slowly unwound itself from my arm and moved towards the mirror. At once I went out through the door and ran to my friend’s house. When I returned the next day I found that a thief had stolen everything from my house. The snake had already disappeared.

How are you? Hope you are fine, and pray for it. I heard little from you for the last few months. Why didn't you contact me? I am writing this letter to tell you a fearful matter. How I wished for your presence here! A snake coiled around my arm and threatens me by looking at me. I was totally lost. I couldn’t do anything. I became like a stone image. Nobody is there to help me out. If you were with me, I could escape easily, but I was alone. I tried my best to escape from the snake by praying God; nothing happened. But after sometime it went near the mirror and admired its own beauty. Suddenly I ran to my friend’s house. It was such a terrible incident. Still the hangover is not gone. Anyway I don’t want to make your mood dull. I hope we will meet soon. Don’t forget to reply soon.
