Why does the poet decide to stand and wait till the snake has finished drinking? What does this tell you about the poet? (Notice that he uses ‘someone’ instead of ‘something’ for the snake.) |

Answer» The poet decides to stand and wait till the snake has finished drinking. This tells us that poet believes in the age long civilized practices of human intercourse and hospitality. The snake was the first to reach the water-trough. Naturally, he had the first right to serve himself. The use of ‘someone’ instead of ‘something’ shows that the poet equates the snake to human beings and not to the lower creatures. |
