write essay of this passage
Anna, an English schoolteacher, is employed by the King of Siam to teach his children in a Buddhist
temple. Anna was telling the children about her own long-ago trip through Egypt, when there suddenly
fell from the roof above her head onto the centre of the map, which she stretched on the table, a coil of
something that looked at first like a thick silk cord neatly rolled into a ball. In another instant the coil
unrolled itself and began to move slowly away. Anna screamed, and forgetting her dignity fled to the far
end of the temple expecting the children to follow her. When she turned, she was amazed to see all the
royal pupils sitting quietly on their seats in an attitude of respect. Not a child had moved or made a
sound. The temple was still
. All the children's eyes were fixed on the snake as it moved in lazy curves
along the entire length of the table. With a feeling of shame Anna returned to her seat to watch it. She
even managed to share a little of the children's fascination as she looked into the clear eyes of the snake.
She had never seen one like it. The snake moved on its slow way down the table. To Anna each second
seemed an hour. She held her breath in terror as it dropped from the table to the arm of the chair of
Prince Chulalongkorn. What if the child moved and the snake struck? She had o doubt that her own life
would be taken in a moment if the young prince went to die under her care. She wanted to call out to
him to hold perfectly still, but no sound came. She need not have worried, for he sat as motionless as the
Buddha gleaming in the twilight behind him. Anna could not swallow or breathe until she saw the snake
glide from the chair and crawl through the corridor and down the steps, and finally out of sight. Then
she almost fainted with relief.
