The Snake and the Mirror
साँप और आईना
The Class 9 English chapter “The Snake and the Mirror” is a humorous, suspenseful narrative about a young homeopathic doctor whose quiet night is interrupted by a snake. As the snake pauses before a mirror, the doctor’s pride in his appearance turns into fear and helplessness. Students explore how humour, irony, vivid description and first-person narration shape the story, while reflecting on vanity, presence of mind and the unexpected turns of life.
