An interesting story about a brave little mongoose was written by Rudyard Kipling. If you want to remember the plot of the story, but do not have time to read it in full, then you can find out the story of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi right now. A summary in 5 minutes will introduce the reader to her.
How Ricky got into the house
The little mongoose lived with his parents in the forests of India. One day there was a heavy downpour, and the animal was washed into a ditch by a strong stream of water. He almost died. The people saved him. They saw a mongoose drowning and pulled it out of the ditch. It was a family consisting of father, mother and son. At first they thought that the mongoose was inanimate, but then he opened his eyes. The mother took the animal into the house to dry off. The mongoose was fed and named Rikki-tikki-tavi.
Ricky liked the house, he began to carefully examine everything and even stained his face in ink, but he was not scolded for it. The little naughty made friends with Teddy. He even slept with the boy in the same bed.
Animals are friends and enemies of the mongoose
Heroes of the fairy tale "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"- this is not only mom, dad, their son Teddy, but also animals. The boy made friends with the birds - Darcy and his wife. They told him a sad story. Recently, the couple's chick fell out of the nest and was swallowed by the cruel Nag. The mongoose did not yet know that it was a big snake. A pair of cobras lived in a nest under the floor and was a great danger to people. On this day, the first meeting of a small animal with cruel reptiles took place.
Then the snakes crawl away from him. At the next meeting with the deadly couple, little Rikki-Tikki-Tavi was already acting more decisively. The summary smoothly approaches the most intense moment.
Fight
Ricky ran to Chuchundra (a musky rat who was afraid of everything but knew a lot) to ask her about cobras. While talking with her, he overheard a conversation between Naga and his wife Nagaina. They developed a cunning plan. Nagaina told her husband that he should sting the man when he goes to wash. The insidious cobra explained what it was for. After all, a couple has eggs hidden in a melon bed, from which cubs should hatch very soon. If Nag and Nagaina exterminate people, they will become the masters of the house, and then the mongoose, which is a danger to their children, will leave from there.
Nag agreed and crawled to hide in a jug in order to sting the father of the family in the morning. Rikki-tikki-tavi followed him. The summary will tell about how the decisive fights took place. The mongoose contrived and dug his sharp teeth into the snake's neck. Nag began to twirl it. But Ricky's stranglehold did not weaken. The mongoose began to run out of strength, but then a shot rang out. It was a big man who came to the rescue. He, his wife Alice and son Teddy were very grateful to the little savior. The next morning, he continued his exploits.
Decisive battle
Ricky persuaded the birds to pretend to be injured in front of Nagini. Then she will follow them and crawl to the right place so that the mongoose will fight with her. But things didn't go according to plan. First, the bird's wife Darcy, pretending to be wounded, dragged Nagaina along with her. But then she crawled to the veranda where the family was having breakfast and was about to bite Teddy.
Meanwhile, in the melon patch, I've already strangled almost all of Rikki-Tikki-Tavi's snake embryos. The brief summary ends with the fact that, having taken the last egg in his teeth, the mongoose ran to Nagini and thus distracted her attention from the boy. The snake asked the animal to give her the serpent. But Ricky attacked her and won in a decisive battle.
This is how the Rikki-Tikki-Tavi story ends. Brave mongoose saved people and animals from dangerous cobras.
