Question

How does the author define the Mongoose and the  Cobra?( class 6 ncrt)

Answer 1

The fight of the cobra and the

mongoose is a classic drama often

seen in India, and the outcome is

largely the same. The mongoose is

not immune to the venomous bite,

but is faster and quicker in motion

than the snake. The cobra assumes

a posture of defence and attempts to

reach the animal by a sweeping

strike, but the quick-moving

mongoose jumps out of reach and

comes at the snake from another

direction, before the snake can

get into striking position again.

This constant movement tires and

discourages the snake, and the

mongoose is finally able to leap in

close and bury its teeth in the

snake’s neck, usually severing the

joints of its vertebrae.

Answer 2

Answer:

The grey mongoose was three feet long. He was an excellent and clever fighter. He was as good a champion fighter as the cobra which was six feet long. The snake was also a skilful and experienced fighter.
