Rikki-tikki
liked
it
immensely
,
and
when
it
was
finished
he
went
out
into
the
veranda
and
sat
in
the
sunshine
and
fluffed
up
his
fur
to
make
it
dry
to
the
roots
.
Then
he
felt
better
.
762
"
There
are
more
things
to
find
out
about
in
this
house
,
"
he
said
to
himself
,
"
than
all
my
family
could
find
out
in
all
their
lives
.
I
shall
certainly
stay
and
find
out
.
"
763
He
spent
all
that
day
roaming
over
the
house
.
He
nearly
drowned
himself
in
the
bath-tubs
,
put
his
nose
into
the
ink
on
a
writing
table
,
and
burned
it
on
the
end
of
the
big
man
's
cigar
,
for
he
climbed
up
in
the
big
man
's
lap
to
see
how
writing
was
done
.
At
nightfall
he
ran
into
Teddy
's
nursery
to
watch
how
kerosene
lamps
were
lighted
,
and
when
Teddy
went
to
bed
Rikki-tikki
climbed
up
too
.
But
he
was
a
restless
companion
,
because
he
had
to
get
up
and
attend
to
every
noise
all
through
the
night
,
and
find
out
what
made
it
.
Teddy
's
mother
and
father
came
in
,
the
last
thing
,
to
look
at
their
boy
,
and
Rikki-tikki
was
awake
on
the
pillow
.
"
I
do
n't
like
that
,
"
said
Teddy
's
mother
.
"
He
may
bite
the
child
.
"
"
He
'll
do
no
such
thing
,
"
said
the
father
.
"
Teddy
's
safer
with
that
little
beast
than
if
he
had
a
bloodhound
to
watch
him
.
If
a
snake
came
into
the
nursery
now
--

But
Teddy
's
mother
would
n't
think
of
anything
so
awful
.
765
Early
in
the
morning
Rikki-tikki
came
to
early
breakfast
in
the
veranda
riding
on
Teddy
's
shoulder
,
and
they
gave
him
banana
and
some
boiled
egg
.
766
He
sat
on
all
their
laps
one
after
the
other
,
because
every
well-brought-up
mongoose
always
hopes
to
be
a
house
mongoose
some
day
and
have
rooms
to
run
about
in
;
and
Rikki-tikki
's
mother
(
she
used
to
live
in
the
general
's
house
at
Segowlee
)
had
carefully
told
Rikki
what
to
do
if
ever
he
came
across
white
men
.
767
Then
Rikki-tikki
went
out
into
the
garden
to
see
what
was
to
be
seen
.
It
was
a
large
garden
,
only
half
cultivated
,
with
bushes
,
as
big
as
summer-houses
,
of
Marshal
Niel
roses
,
lime
and
orange
trees
,
clumps
of
bamboos
,
and
thickets
of
high
grass
.
Rikki-tikki
licked
his
lips
.
"
This
is
a
splendid
hunting-ground
,
"
he
said
,
and
his
tail
grew
bottle-brushy
at
the
thought
of
it
,
and
he
scuttled
up
and
down
the
garden
,
snuffing
here
and
there
till
he
heard
very
sorrowful
voices
in
a
thorn-bush
.

It
was
Darzee
,
the
Tailorbird
,
and
his
wife
.
They
had
made
a
beautiful
nest
by
pulling
two
big
leaves
together
and
stitching
them
up
the
edges
with
fibers
,
and
had
filled
the
hollow
with
cotton
and
downy
fluff
.
The
nest
swayed
to
and
fro
,
as
they
sat
on
the
rim
and
cried
.
769
"
What
is
the
matter
?
"
asked
Rikki-tikki
.
770
"
We
are
very
miserable
,
"
said
Darzee
.
"
One
of
our
babies
fell
out
of
the
nest
yesterday
and
Nag
ate
him
.
"
