Summary Of The Snake and the Mirror
The story is narrated by a homeopathic doctor who recalls a frightening yet humorous incident from his early career. One hot summer night, the doctor was sitting in his small, poorly lit rented room, admiring himself in the mirror and daydreaming about his future. Suddenly, a snake fell from the roof and coiled itself around his arm. Paralyzed with fear, the doctor sat still, contemplating his fate.
Interestingly, the snake became fascinated by its own reflection in the mirror and eventually slithered away towards it, allowing the doctor to escape unharmed. The story ends with the doctor humorously recounting how he fled the room and later found that a thief had stolen most of his belongings, leaving behind only a dirty vest.
