Question

what reason does the poet give for not killing the snake ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

The poet wants the snake to be spared because he is non-venomous and hence harmless. He is so safe that he cannot harm even a young child. Since the snake is not a threat to any human being, there is no rhyme or reason in killing him.

Answer 2

Answer:

Because the poet see it as a living creature doing what is normal, drinking water since it was thirsty on that hot day.
