Answer 1

At first, the doctor thought that he had a good smile when he smiled. He thinks that he should look smart. So he decides to shave daily and retain his smile. He is happy and contented when he looks into the mirror. When the snake coiled around his left arm above the elbow, he kept sitting there holding his breath. He became motionless. He was afraid of the snake. He smiled a little later, he laughed at his destiny. His life was in danger. His thoughts got changed because of the snake. He was quite near to death.
