Question

what was narrator mother doing when the peasants come ? night of scorpion​

Answer 1

Answer:

Night of the Scorpion - The poem opens in a way that suggests reflection—the speaker remembers (and, is so, older now) the night his mother was stung by a scorpion, which bit the mother because of its predatory impulse, while hiding beneath a bag of rice to escape from the rain.

Answer 2

Answer:

Under what circumstances did the scorpion sting the poet's mother? Ans: Ten hours' of steady rain had filled the scorpion's hiding place with water; saving its life it hid under the sack of rice in the kitchen. When the poet's mother went to the kitchen, it accidentally stung her.
