Question

The snake believed itself to be ... when it saw a mongoose.

Answer 1

A mongoose is a furry animal, like an enormous rat, or a ferret, but unassuming. Well, a snake, is feared and deadly. Yet, once the paths of a mongoose and a snake cross, regardless of the species or size of the snake, there can only be one winner — the mongoose. Indeed, the mongoose is known as the nemesis of snakes.
