Nag
waved
to
and
fro
,
and
then
Rikki-tikki
heard
him
drinking
from
the
biggest
water-jar
that
was
used
to
fill
the
bath
.
812
"
That
is
good
,
"
said
the
snake
.
"
Now
,
when
Karait
was
killed
,
the
big
man
had
a
stick
.
He
may
have
that
stick
still
,
but
when
he
comes
in
to
bathe
in
the
morning
he
will
not
have
a
stick
.
I
shall
wait
here
till
he
comes
.
Nagaina
--
do
you
hear
me
?
--
I
shall
wait
here
in
the
cool
till
daytime
.
"
813
There
was
no
answer
from
outside
,
so
Rikki-tikki
knew
Nagaina
had
gone
away
.
Nag
coiled
himself
down
,
coil
by
coil
,
round
the
bulge
at
the
bottom
of
the
water
jar
,
and
Rikki-tikki
stayed
still
as
death
.
After
an
hour
he
began
to
move
,
muscle
by
muscle
,
toward
the
jar
.
Nag
was
asleep
,
and
Rikki-tikki
looked
at
his
big
back
,
wondering
which
would
be
the
best
place
for
a
good
hold
.
"
If
I
do
n't
break
his
back
at
the
first
jump
,
"
said
Rikki
,
"
he
can
still
fight
.
And
if
he
fights
--
O
Rikki
!
"
He
looked
at
the
thickness
of
the
neck
below
the
hood
,
but
that
was
too
much
for
him
;
and
a
bite
near
the
tail
would
only
make
Nag
savage
.

"
It
must
be
the
head
"
'
he
said
at
last
;
"
the
head
above
the
hood
.
And
,
when
I
am
once
there
,
I
must
not
let
go
.
"
815
Then
he
jumped
.
The
head
was
lying
a
little
clear
of
the
water
jar
,
under
the
curve
of
it
;
and
,
as
his
teeth
met
,
Rikki
braced
his
back
against
the
bulge
of
the
red
earthenware
to
hold
down
the
head
.
This
gave
him
just
one
second
's
purchase
,
and
he
made
the
most
of
it
.
816
Then
he
was
battered
to
and
fro
as
a
rat
is
shaken
by
a
dog
--
to
and
fro
on
the
floor
,
up
and
down
,
and
around
in
great
circles
,
but
his
eyes
were
red
and
he
held
on
as
the
body
cart-whipped
over
the
floor
,
upsetting
the
tin
dipper
and
the
soap
dish
and
the
flesh
brush
,
and
banged
against
the
tin
side
of
the
bath
.
As
he
held
he
closed
his
jaws
tighter
and
tighter
,
for
he
made
sure
he
would
be
banged
to
death
,
and
,
for
the
honor
of
his
family
,
he
preferred
to
be
found
with
his
teeth
locked
.
He
was
dizzy
,
aching
,
and
felt
shaken
to
pieces
when
something
went
off
like
a
thunderclap
just
behind
him
.
A
hot
wind
knocked
him
senseless
and
red
fire
singed
his
fur
.
The
big
man
had
been
wakened
by
the
noise
,
and
had
fired
both
barrels
of
a
shotgun
into
Nag
just
behind
the
hood
.
817
Rikki-tikki
held
on
with
his
eyes
shut
,
for
now
he
was
quite
sure
he
was
dead
.
But
the
head
did
not
move
,
and
the
big
man
picked
him
up
and
said
,
"
It
's
the
mongoose
again
,
Alice
.
The
little
chap
has
saved
our
lives
now
.

Then
Teddy
's
mother
came
in
with
a
very
white
face
,
and
saw
what
was
left
of
Nag
,
and
Rikki-tikki
dragged
himself
to
Teddy
's
bedroom
and
spent
half
the
rest
of
the
night
shaking
himself
tenderly
to
find
out
whether
he
really
was
broken
into
forty
pieces
,
as
he
fancied
.
819
When
morning
came
he
was
very
stiff
,
but
well
pleased
with
his
doings
.
"
Now
I
have
Nagaina
to
settle
with
,
and
she
will
be
worse
than
five
Nags
,
and
there
's
no
knowing
when
the
eggs
she
spoke
of
will
hatch
.
Goodness
!
I
must
go
and
see
Darzee
,
"
he
said
.
820
Without
waiting
for
breakfast
,
Rikki-tikki
ran
to
the
thornbush
where
Darzee
was
singing
a
song
of
triumph
at
the
top
of
his
voice
.
The
news
of
Nag
's
death
was
all
over
the
garden
,
for
the
sweeper
had
thrown
the
body
on
the
rubbish-heap
.
