Chuchundra
sat
down
and
cried
till
the
tears
rolled
off
his
whiskers
.
"
I
am
a
very
poor
man
,
"
he
sobbed
.
"
I
never
had
spirit
enough
to
run
out
into
the
middle
of
the
room
.
H'sh
!
I
must
n't
tell
you
anything
.
Ca
n't
you
hear
,
Rikki-tikki
?
"
802
Rikki-tikki
listened
.
The
house
was
as
still
as
still
,
but
he
thought
he
could
just
catch
the
faintest
scratch-scratch
in
the
world
--
a
noise
as
faint
as
that
of
a
wasp
walking
on
a
window-pane
--
the
dry
scratch
of
a
snake
's
scales
on
brick-work
.
803
"
That
's
Nag
or
Nagaina
,
"
he
said
to
himself
,
"
and
he
is
crawling
into
the
bath-room
sluice
.
You
're
right
,
Chuchundra
;
I
should
have
talked
to
Chua
.

He
stole
off
to
Teddy
's
bath-room
,
but
there
was
nothing
there
,
and
then
to
Teddy
's
mother
's
bathroom
.
At
the
bottom
of
the
smooth
plaster
wall
there
was
a
brick
pulled
out
to
make
a
sluice
for
the
bath
water
,
and
as
Rikki-tikki
stole
in
by
the
masonry
curb
where
the
bath
is
put
,
he
heard
Nag
and
Nagaina
whispering
together
outside
in
the
moonlight
.
805
"
When
the
house
is
emptied
of
people
,
"
said
Nagaina
to
her
husband
,
"
he
will
have
to
go
away
,
and
then
the
garden
will
be
our
own
again
.
Go
in
quietly
,
and
remember
that
the
big
man
who
killed
Karait
is
the
first
one
to
bite
.
Then
come
out
and
tell
me
,
and
we
will
hunt
for
Rikki-tikki
together
.
"
806
"
But
are
you
sure
that
there
is
anything
to
be
gained
by
killing
the
people
?
"
said
Nag
.
807
"
Everything
.
When
there
were
no
people
in
the
bungalow
,
did
we
have
any
mongoose
in
the
garden
?
So
long
as
the
bungalow
is
empty
,
we
are
king
and
queen
of
the
garden
;
and
remember
that
as
soon
as
our
eggs
in
the
melon
bed
hatch
(
as
they
may
tomorrow
)
,
our
children
will
need
room
and
quiet
.

"
I
had
not
thought
of
that
,
"
said
Nag
.
"
I
will
go
,
but
there
is
no
need
that
we
should
hunt
for
Rikki-tikki
afterward
.
I
will
kill
the
big
man
and
his
wife
,
and
the
child
if
I
can
,
and
come
away
quietly
.
Then
the
bungalow
will
be
empty
,
and
Rikki-tikki
will
go
.
"
809
Rikki-tikki
tingled
all
over
with
rage
and
hatred
at
this
,
and
then
Nag
's
head
came
through
the
sluice
,
and
his
five
feet
of
cold
body
followed
it
.
Angry
as
he
was
,
Rikki-tikki
was
very
frightened
as
he
saw
the
size
of
the
big
cobra
.
Nag
coiled
himself
up
,
raised
his
head
,
and
looked
into
the
bathroom
in
the
dark
,
and
Rikki
could
see
his
eyes
glitter
.
810
"
Now
,
if
I
kill
him
here
,
Nagaina
will
know
;
and
if
I
fight
him
on
the
open
floor
,
the
odds
are
in
his
favor
.
What
am
I
to
do
?
"
said
Rikki-tikki-tavi
.
