Chapter 5 The Snake And The Mirror

-by Vaikom Muhammad Basheer

Doctor Sees his face in Mirror

The narrator, who is a doctor, explains his experience with a snake. It was a hot summer night when he used to live in a room in the village. When he came to his room, it was about ten o’clock. The doctor was sitting in a chair in his house at night and wondering how to look more handsome as he watched his face in a mirror. He decided that he would shave daily, keep a thin moustache and always have a smile on his face. These measures would make him look smarter and more handsome. He heard a noise. There were many rats in the room that constantly made noise.

कथावाचक, जो एक डॉक्टर है, एक साँप के साथ अपने अनुभव की व्याख्या करता है। गरमी की रात थी जब वह गाँव के एक कमरे में रहता था। जब वह अपने कमरे में आया तो करीब दस बज रहे थे। डॉक्टर रात को अपने घर में एक कुर्सी पर बैठा सोच रहा था कि और अधिक सुंदर कैसे दिखूं क्योंकि वह आईने में अपना चेहरा देख रहा था। उसने तय किया कि वह रोज शेव करेगा, पतली मूंछें रखेगा और चेहरे पर हमेशा मुस्कान रखेगा। ये उपाय उसे स्मार्ट और अधिक सुंदर दिखेंगे। उसने एक शोर सुना। कमरे में कई चूहे थे जो लगातार शोर मचाते रहते थे।

Snake Falls on the Doctor

Suddenly, a snake fell on doctor’s shoulder from above. It may have come into the house due to the presence of many rats there. The snake coiled round doctor’s left arm above the elbow. The snake’s hood was only three to four inches away from the doctor’s face. The doctor turned absolutely still in the face of danger so close by. He prayed to God and then realised that he was a foolish and stupid doctor as he did not have any medicine for snakebite with him. Thus, he would surely die if the snake bit him.

अचानक ऊपर से एक सांप डॉक्टर के कंधे पर आ गिरा। हो सकता है कि वहां कई चूहों की मौजूदगी के कारण यह घर में आ गया हो। सांप ने डॉक्टर के बाएं हाथ को कोहनी के ऊपर से लपेट लिया। सांप का फन डॉक्टर के चेहरे से महज तीन से चार इंच की दूरी पर था। डॉक्टर इतने करीब खतरे के सामने बिल्कुल स्थिर हो गया। उसने भगवान से प्रार्थना की और तब महसूस किया कि वह एक मूर्ख और मूर्ख डॉक्टर था क्योंकि उसके पास सर्पदंश की कोई दवा नहीं थी। इसलिए अगर सांप ने उसे काटा तो वह निश्चित रूप से मर जाएगा।

Doctor’s Escape from the Snake

When the snake turned its hood, it saw its reflection in the mirror on the table. The snake unwound (freed) itself from the doctor’s arm and crept over to the table to have a closer look at itself.

The doctor, thus, got an opportunity to escape from the house. He ran very fast and went to a friend’s house. After bathing there, he spent the night at the friend’s place.

जब सांप ने अपना फन मोड़ा तो उसे मेज पर लगे शीशे में अपना प्रतिबिम्ब दिखाई दिया। सांप ने खुद को डॉक्टर की बांह से खोल लिया (मुक्त) और खुद को करीब से देखने के लिए मेज पर चढ़ गया।

इस तरह डॉक्टर को घर से भागने का मौका मिल गया। वह बहुत तेजी से भागा और एक मित्र के घर गया। वहां नहाने के बाद मित्र के यहां रात गुजारी।

Doctor Shifts from the House

The next morning, the narrator went to his room with his friend, as he had decided to vacate the house immediately, he went to collect his belongings. However, he found that some thieves had stolen most of his belongings, leaving behind only one of the doctor’s dirty vests.

अगली सुबह, वर्णनकर्ता अपने दोस्त के साथ अपने कमरे में गया, क्योंकि उसने तुरंत घर खाली करने का फैसला किया था, वह अपना सामान लेने गया। हालाँकि, उन्होंने पाया कि कुछ चोरों ने उनका अधिकांश सामान चुरा लिया था, और डॉक्टर के गंदे बनियानों में से केवल एक को छोड़ दिया था।

Conclusion of The Snake and the Mirror

The chapter – The Snake and the Mirror teaches students that we should not be boastful of our looks and should accept whatever we have and consider it as a blessing from God.

अध्याय – द स्नेक एंड द मिरर छात्रों को सिखाता है कि हमें अपने रूप पर घमंड नहीं करना चाहिए और जो कुछ भी हमारे पास है उसे स्वीकार करना चाहिए और इसे भगवान का आशीर्वाद मानना चाहिए।
