Answers
'All Creatures Great and Small' by Ruskin Bond, basically describes the experiences of a young boy in Northern India, whose grandfather had a large collection of pets in their house. The story revolves around the way people reacted to these pets, particularly the boy’s grandmother, who was not really happy with those animals and birds but just about tolerated them. But the interesting part is when the old man brings a python into the house and the grandmother demands that he remove it from the house. She is concerned about a visitor Aunt Mabel expected to drop in. Aunt Mabel does come visiting and after a couple of days confronts the python sitting on the guava tree in the garden. She screams at seeing the creature and when everyone runs out to see what happened, the snake goes missing. But following a hide and seek game where the snake makes its appearance and then vanishes, Aunt Mabel decides to leave.
"The reaction of Aunt Mabel at the presence of the python in the house was in her words:
““A snake!” sobbed Aunt Mabel. “A great boa constrictor. It must have been
twenty feet long! In the guava tree. Its eyes were terrible. And it looked at me
in such a queer way.”
