Dear student,

Such questions are made for enhancing the self creative skills and should be tried answering on your own. However, here are a few points that will help you in framing your answer:

• It is true that there is a constant battle between natural human instincts and the effect of education on the way a man approaches the natural world.
• While the poet is grateful to have guest at his trough, he is compelled to throw a log at the snake because his education has taught him that snakes are harmful.
• We see the poet regretting his act later but his actions prove that he was being controlled by his voice of education more than his natural instincts.
• The snake seemed to be harmless and had just arrived to drink some water. While it was returning, the poet attacked the snake.
