10. A young doctor lived in a village. The doctor told his friends an
interesting story about himself and a cobra. It was a hot
summer night so he opened the door, he heard a sound which
was well known to him. He and rats shared the same room.
There was no electricity in the house, so he took out a
matches and lit a kerosene lamp. He took off his clothes and
lay down as if he could not sleep. He got up from the bed and
started reading a story-book. Near the table there was a mirror,
which tempted him to look into at himself. He was unmarried
so he was particular about his handsomeness. He wanted to
marry a woman doctor who had plenty of money and should be
fat. While he was having such thoughts, suddenly he felt as if a
rubber tube had fallen to the ground but a snake landed on his
shoulder. At that time the only thing he could do was to pray to
God. The snake would bite him at any moment but suddenly it
turned its head and started admiring its beauty in the mirror.
The doctor was thus saved.
