Question

the summary of the story INTO THE SNAKE PIT written by Gerald Durrell

Answer 1

Many years ago I went to Kenya and one of the things arranged for us was a visit to the Kenya Herpetarium. As soon as we entered the gates I began to feel uneasy and this fear increased as we went around each pit and glass enclosure .When the director picked up a snake casually and stretched his arms towards me, I almost turned and ran. The fact that I was familiar with animals and felt a strong empathy with them, the fact that I knew that the snake was of the harmless variety, did not make my herpetophobia any less.
