Note: This book has been edited by Stephen Kagen and is a Hindu to Christian conversion story that went horribly wrong. People suffering from snake phobia shouldn't read it. Set in the fag end of British rule in India, the story revolves around a cobra that escapes from a snake charmers basket, is picked up by an eagle and falls into the landlords compound. On seeing it, the terrified landlord hops onto the visiting police officers jeep and hops on it for more elevation causing the bonnet to cave in. James Powell is the visiting police officer, a die hard imperialist whose stiff upper lip and poise take a beating when his host, the Indian landlord, starts hopping on the bonnet of his brand new Jeep. He watches aghast as the smart bonnet caves in. He is furious. Neither does he understand why on earth would anyone pray to a snake, especially one sitting coiled on the head of a scarecrow? He and Bill Moore, who is the pastor in the local church, succeed in converting the landlord to Christianity. Previously the landlord was an orthodox Hindu who didn't understand why Englishmen didn't pray to snakes? If they did, they would rule India for the next one hundred years. The snake of course doesn't understand why humans pray to it and why they sometimes offer it milk? And why they sometimes chased it with sticks and stones to kill it. Is it because it bit the little girl that died? Or is it because it got entangled in a sleeping woman's hair? Life is an enigma. Read on.
