A Frightening Experience.
Many years ago while I was living in India, I was invited at a reception at the embassy.
When I arrived, some of the guests were sitting and smoking while others were chatting and drinking. A few couples were dancing while a group of musicians were playing waltzes.
My friend came to me and introduced me to some guests. Then it was time to have dinner.
We were sitting round the table eating and listening to an old colonel talking about his army experiences when a woman suddenly shouted: “A snake! There ‘s a snake near the window!”
there was a great panic in the room. Some guests climbed onto the table screaming; two women fainted.
While some of us were looking for the snake everywhere, the old colonel rushed to the veranda. A few seconds later, we heard two shots. We were wondering about what was happening when he entered the room, dragging a dead cobra.
