  Answer the following questions briefly: 1. Why does the poet decide to stand and wait till the snake has finished drinking? What does this tell you about the poet? (Notice that he uses ‘someone’ instead of ‘something’ for the snake.) Ans.  The poet decides that since he believes the snake arrived before him, he should stand and wait until the snake finishes drinking. He also feels greatly honoured that the snake had chosen his water trough to satisfy his thirst.
