Answer:

<em>This question is regarding the interesting short stories written by H.G Wells. The name of this short story is </em><em>"The treasure in the forest".</em>

The author utilizes snakes as a means to make his two main characters less suspicion.

<u>He wants to make them feel at ease about killing a Chinese man and stealing his treasure map.</u>

Both of them are <u>professional treasure hunters</u>.

<em>These lines exclaim that a snake has killed the man. Even though they killed him and there was no real snake in the story.</em>
