"the sound was familiar one" what sound did the doctor hear? how did he realise what it really was? Answer in 60 to 80 words

Dear Student,

'The Snake and the Mirror' is a story about a poor homeopathic doctor and his encounter with a snake. One day, while he was day dreaming in front of the mirror, he heard a sound that the doctor thought was that of rats moving in the beam. He was familiar with the sound as the rats often squeaked. The sound stopped as the rats had seen a snake. Suddenly, the snake landed on the doctor's shoulder. The doctor got scared and thought that god was punishing him for his mistakes. Finally, the snake crawled away from him and he was saved.

Regards

When the doctor entered his house, he heard the familiar sound of rats running through the beams of the roof. The statement that he and the rats were housemates gives an impression that the house was full of rats. The doctor was used to the noises made by the rights. So, he was not bothered about the noise. The doctor heard the sound of the rats three times. When a snake file from the roof, the sound stopped because this snake must have come there to catch its prey, the rats.

Hope it helps..........
