The boy was thrilled at seeing the fight between the cobra and the mongoose. You may also have the same feeling. Narrate the fight scene in your own words.
Battle Of Champions
The
boy was sitting on the platform halfway up the tree. He used to read books and
enjoy sights down in the garden sitting there. One April afternoon, when
everyone was indoors due to the warm breezes of the approaching summer, he was
sitting up on the tree as usual. Suddenly he saw a huge, black cobra gliding
into the garden beneath him out from a cactus clump. At the same time, a
mongoose also emerged from the bush nearby and went straight for the cobra.
Both of them came face to face in a clearing beneath the tree on which the boy was sitting. The cobra defiantly darted his forked tongue in and out and raised three of his six feet off the ground. The mongoose bushed its tail, and the long hair on its spine stood up. They were ready to fight each other.
Two other spectators – a myna and a jungle crow – also came to the scene. The cobra tried to mesmerize his opponent into making a false move. But the mongoose knew the trick and did not fall into the trap. The mongoose moving forward, made a feint to one side. The cobra struck but missed the aim. Immediately the mongoose darted on the snake and bit on its back. At the same moment, the myna and the crow also dived at the cobra but collided themselves. The cobra started getting weaker and weaker as the mongoose attacked him vigorously and repeatedly. In the fight, the cobra whipped his head back and his snout thudded forcefully against the crow’s body killing it. Then, the myna wisely refrained from any more.
Finally, the mongoose with a lightning snap had the cobra by his snout. He writhed for a while and gradually stopped struggling. The winning mongoose, gripping its enemy’s hood, dragged it into the bushes. The myna, with a shrill cry of congratulation, flew away.
