Guru teaches snake charming lessons to children

An old snake charmer hypnotises two Cobra snakes that are sitting in a basket, while sitting outside his house, in the courtyard.

The children are the grand-children of the snake charmer and have grown up among these snakes.

They are all comfortable with the snakes having played around them for hours, while growing up. The snakes might have bitten the children a few times but for them it is no big deal. Of course, the snakes have their poison sacs taken out!

There is also a dog sleeping nearby, quite oblivious to the snakes and the active children. Even the dog is used to this environment!

The charmer prods the snakes a few times to liven them up a tad.

The snakes seem to have smileys on their backs, in order to confuse predators, or so it seems!

The snakes seem to be cobras.
