Cobras
Cobras, found in some parts of Africa and Asia, are poisonous snakes. Most cobras bite their victims and their bite may cause death within a few hours. Spitting cobras of Africa spit poison which causes blindness if it gets in the eyes. A fullgrown Indian cobra is nearly six feet long and about five inches around. On the back of its hood it has a mark like a pair of spectacles. That’s why it is sometimes called the “spectacled snake” or “spectacled cobra”. Cobras usually eat small animals, such as frogs, fish and birds.

Women have been prejudiced against for centuries perhaps ever since life on earth. They have long been referred to as “weaker sex” or “fairer sex,” considered naturally weaker than men, squeamish, unable to perform the work that requires muscles or pluck the courage to face up to any crisis. As we know, Plato, Aristotle, Shakespeare, and Confucius all made negative remarks about women. And even today, such a prejudice has not been eliminated and the argument in the text shows how hard long-standing prejudices die.
