You are a friend who has overheard this conversation between Raghu and Sheela. Write to your sister reporting it. Give the conversation an interesting, unexpected or humorous ending. (The first part has been done for you.)
Janpath
5 January
Dear Varsha
As you ’re very interested in Raghu and his snakes, I thought I’d tell you about a conversation I heard between him and Sheela.
He told her he thought one of these snakes had escaped and, as usual, she told him to stop collecting them because they were dangerous. (Typical of Sheela, don’t you think?)
Answer:
Raghu said that he liked snakes as they were unusual pets. Sheela expressed her opinion that it was a dangerous thing to keep such pets. Raghu retorted that they were really friendly. Sheela said that snakes require a great deal of careful handling and are still a risk. Raghu replied that he did not mind the risk because he liked them. Sheela told him frankly that she hated them as they were awfully frightening to look at. Raghu told her that he was very careful and he handled them very gently. He regretted that he did not have many. Sheela asked him if he had ever been bitten. Raghu replied that he had been bitten once or twice. Sheela still did not collect courage to go near the snakes. She was still puzzled to see Raghu’s hobby. I am sine you have enjoyed the conversation between Raghu and Sheela. What’s your opinion about the snakes ? Do you think just like Sheela?
Yours Sincerely
Amit
