The post calls his act of throwing a log of wood at the snake a pettiness because he got influenced by the voice education, the voice of his education was forcing him to kill the snake
Answer: The poet regretted his action of throwing a wooden log at the harmless snake that was retreating to its hole harmlessly. The poet had to expiate because he did a wrong act. His behavior with the snake was unjustified. The snake had just come to drink water at his water trough. The snake had not shown any aggression or hostility. The heat of the summer season had forced it out. There was a considerable distance between the poet and the snake. The snake had behaved very majestically; after slaking its thirst; it was going back to its crevice. The poet had got scared and thrown a log at it with an intention to kill it. Besides, the snake was not poisonous at all. So the poet felt regretful at acting meanly. He had to feel sorry. This feeling sorry was expiation for him.
