The snake had come to the water-trough to quench his thirst on a hot day. He had reached at the water-trough before the poet who also reached there with his pitcher. Naturally, the snake had a better claim to be served first. Therefore, the poet decided to stand and wait till he had finished drinking. This showed that the poet believed the age-long civilized practice of serving the one who had come first to seek his hospitality.
