Answer 2

A snake came to the poet’s water trough to quench his thirst. The poet at first thought him to be a guest and had a  natural instinct to respect him.

But when the snake started moving towards the wall, he picked up a log and threw  it at the snake as a response to the voice of education which said that golden snakes are venomous.

The snake  writhed like lightning and disappeared. The poet felt guilty as he realized that the snake had not tried to harm  him and he should not have hit him with a log. His conscience pricked him.

The poet was full of repentance and  remorseful for his petty act. He wished that the shake should reappear so that he could get a chance to expiate and illogically. He felt sad and regretted having missed the opportunity of knowing one of the lords of life.
