Explanation:

• The doctor was astounded to witness a snake acknowledging its own beauty. Since he narrated the story in a way that even an animal could appreciate it, the narrator's sense of humour is also on display in this passage.
• He continued his funny story by saying he didn't know if the snake was a male or a female. And he said that he would never learn the truth since it immediately crawled down his arm and onto his lap.

• Then it sprang and started crawling across the table. It crept up to the mirror and started looking in the mirror. The doctor reasoned that the snake could want to see itself and take a closer look at its looks, much like the doctor did.
• The same mirror that had put the doctor's life in danger also held the power to save it. We should be grateful to the mirror for that. Even though it enticed the doctor and invited him into trouble, it ultimately saved his life.
• The doctor felt secure as soon as the snake turned away from him. He then stopped being a statue and, in the next instant, changed into a real man.
• Without moving, he slowly got up from the chair and entered the veranda through the entrance without the snake seeing him. He then jumped into the yard and started running as fast as he could.
