(i) What happened to the crow in the end? (ii) What did the myna do finally?
Answers
i) In the end the crow flung nearly twenty feet across the garden by a blow from the cobra's snout. It fluttered about for a while, then lay still.
ii) Myna finally dropped cautiously to the ground, hopped about, peered into the bushes from a safe distance and then with a shrill cry of congratulations flew away.
(i)After diving at the cobra, when the crow tried to pull up in the med-air and turn back, in the second that it took the bird to do this the cobra whipped his head back and struck with great force. His snout thudding against the crow's body. It fluttered about a while and then lay still.
(ii)The myna remained on the cactus plant and when the snake and the mongoose return to the fight, very wisely decided not to interfere again.
