It seemed as if God appreciated that. The snake turned its head. It
looked into the mirror and saw its reflection.

The doctor felt that God appreciated the doctor’s realization of his
mistake. Something favourable happened and the doctor’s life was
saved. The snake moved its head to the other side and saw the
mirror. It looked at the mirror and it saw its own reflection in it.

I do not claim that it was the first snake that had ever looked into a
mirror. But it was certain that the snake was looking into the mirror.

It is not possible that any snake had never looked at itself in the
mirror before. But yes, this snake was looking at itself in the mirror
and the doctor was surprised because the snake was looking at
itself in the mirror very carefully.

Was it admiring its own beauty?

He was thinking that maybe it was admiring its beauty.

Was it trying to make an important decision about growing a
moustache or using eye shadow and mascara or wearing a
vermilion spot on its forehead?
vermilion spot: red bindi
The doctor imagines that the snake must be imagining different
styles like he was thinking few minutes back when he was looking
at his face in the mirror. He thought that may be the snake was
thinking of growing a moustache or may be of wearing eye shadow
and mascara to look more pretty or maybe it was thinking of
wearing a red – coloured bindi on its forehead.
