Question

How was the doctor saved from the snake? What did he do?

Answer 1

Had the snake bitten him, he would have surely died of fear and poison, for there was no medicine in his room for snake-bite. The narrator of the story is a doctor. ... After some time, he opened the two windows in the room. Then he sat down on the chair and took out a book to read.

Answer 2

Perhaps it wanted to see its image closely. Now the doctor acted quickly. Still holding his breath, he got up slowly from the chair. Then he ran out of the house and escaped from the snake grip.
