This is said to be a true snake story. It is told by %n Ango-Indian:—ln the next bungalow a little boy daily had his bowl of bread and milk on the verandah, sitting in a child's high chair. He \yas as merry as a cricket. One heard him talking and crowing to himself apparently, until one morning, to mv horror, I saw him tapping the head of a cobra gently with his spoon, saying, "Bobbery, bobbery" (naughty, naughty). The snake was quietly drinking the milk out of the bowl, paying no heed to the child's play. A sudden noise or movement on my part, and the cobra would instantly have turned and bitten the boy. Presently down slipped the reptile away into some bushes, and I got the men to go and kill it. The child cried bitterly, and said the snake had come every morning and helped him with his breakfast.
