To Kill a Creeping Snake

Tweet

I think that was summer here in India.I was staying at my granny's.I went out to buy some groceries,then i saw it happening. There were many people gathered at a place where people usually throw garbage, i went to look what was happening.They were yelling kill that,fire it up(of course in native lang.).Then somebody said it went right under that big metal water tank(which was lying there, rusted) Then it occurred to me that it was a snake,an Indian cobra.They were trying so badly to kill that poor innocent creature,which did nothing to them.It was silently on its way to some place devoid of humans,but they want to kill it nonetheless. They lit fire to the entire area which has garbage,plants etc.It seemed to be making hiss sounds from inside the box,They were happy that they were going to kill an innocent snake after it comes out due to suffocation.They were really happy to take life out of a creature,which was on its way,probably to see its family. Yes they were really happy until an hour or two,until they realized it wasn't coming out.They started discussing of its whereabouts.They moved the metal box,to see their efforts in vain.The snake was gone.They were really depressed by the fact that,they couldn't kill it.Then they went to their homes,discussing how big the snake was or how bravely he stood near there. Then i observed a great thing in that incident,god has various ways to do something.In the process to kill that snake the people there burnt that garbage which was standing there since last summer.This is really great about today's world one would rather burn that garbage to kill a snake that doesn't at all harm them.But if we say that garbage is the breeding ground of malaria causing mosquitoes,would they do it ?
