Detailed explanation-1: -(ii) In the second instance, the doctor smiles at his foolishness and helplessness. His thoughts change after his encounter with the snake-from being a proud doctor he moves on to accept his stupidity.
Detailed explanation-2: -The doctor thought that he had a good smile when he first smiled. But when he smiled a little later, he laughed at his destiny. His life was in danger. His thoughts got changed because of the snake.
Detailed explanation-3: -The writer was proud of being a doctor. Coming face-to-face with the snake made him humble. He thought he was only a poor and stupid doctor who should not be proud of his profession. Was this answer helpful?
Detailed explanation-4: -He felt that he was a stupid doctor because he was aware of the fact that there were many rats in his house but he didn’t think that if there are rats, then there can be some other animal like a snake too. Also, he should have kept some antidote for the poison of the snake.
Detailed explanation-5: -The doctor thought that the snake must be praising its own beauty because it was looking at the mirror for a very long period of time. The snake then moved towards the mirror to see its clearer reflection and admire its own beauty more.
