From which chapter is this?

Answer 2

Answer:

This question is from the short story 'A Snake in the Grass' by R.K. Narayan.

In the story, the family accuses Dasa, an old servant, of being lazy and idle as he did not cut the garden grass. Dasa fools the family by saying that he has caught a snake in a jar and that it is now missing. He does this to gain the trust of the new family, to avoid being called lazy and idle and to save his job as the family was thinking of firing him and hiring someone else.
