The
big
snake
turned
half
around
,
and
saw
the
egg
on
the
veranda
.
"
Ah-h
!
Give
it
to
me
,
"
she
said
.
852
Rikki-tikki
put
his
paws
one
on
each
side
of
the
egg
,
and
his
eyes
were
blood-red
.
"
What
price
for
a
snake
's
egg
?
For
a
young
cobra
?
For
a
young
king
cobra
?
For
the
last
--
the
very
last
of
the
brood
?
The
ants
are
eating
all
the
others
down
by
the
melon
bed
.
"
853
Nagaina
spun
clear
round
,
forgetting
everything
for
the
sake
of
the
one
egg
.
Rikki-tikki
saw
Teddy
's
father
shoot
out
a
big
hand
,
catch
Teddy
by
the
shoulder
,
and
drag
him
across
the
little
table
with
the
tea-cups
,
safe
and
out
of
reach
of
Nagaina
.

"
Tricked
!
Tricked
!
Tricked
!
Rikk-tck-tck
!
"
chuckled
Rikki-tikki
.
"
The
boy
is
safe
,
and
it
was
I
--
I
--
I
that
caught
Nag
by
the
hood
last
night
in
the
bathroom
.
"
Then
he
began
to
jump
up
and
down
,
all
four
feet
together
,
his
head
close
to
the
floor
.
"
He
threw
me
to
and
fro
,
but
he
could
not
shake
me
off
.
He
was
dead
before
the
big
man
blew
him
in
two
.
I
did
it
!
Rikki-tikki-tck-tck
!
Come
then
,
Nagaina
.
Come
and
fight
with
me
.
You
shall
not
be
a
widow
long
.
"
855
Nagaina
saw
that
she
had
lost
her
chance
of
killing
Teddy
,
and
the
egg
lay
between
Rikki-tikki
's
paws
.
"
Give
me
the
egg
,
Rikki-tikki
.
Give
me
the
last
of
my
eggs
,
and
I
will
go
away
and
never
come
back
,
"
she
said
,
lowering
her
hood
.
856
"
Yes
,
you
will
go
away
,
and
you
will
never
come
back
.
For
you
will
go
to
the
rubbish
heap
with
Nag
.
857
Fight
,
widow
!
The
big
man
has
gone
for
his
gun
!
Fight
!

Rikki-tikki
was
bounding
all
round
Nagaina
,
keeping
just
out
of
reach
of
her
stroke
,
his
little
eyes
like
hot
coals
.
Nagaina
gathered
herself
together
and
flung
out
at
him
.
Rikki-tikki
jumped
up
and
backward
.
Again
and
again
and
again
she
struck
,
and
each
time
her
head
came
with
a
whack
on
the
matting
of
the
veranda
and
she
gathered
herself
together
like
a
watch
spring
.
Then
Rikki-tikki
danced
in
a
circle
to
get
behind
her
,
and
Nagaina
spun
round
to
keep
her
head
to
his
head
,
so
that
the
rustle
of
her
tail
on
the
matting
sounded
like
dry
leaves
blown
along
by
the
wind
.
859
He
had
forgotten
the
egg
.
It
still
lay
on
the
veranda
,
and
Nagaina
came
nearer
and
nearer
to
it
,
till
at
last
,
while
Rikki-tikki
was
drawing
breath
,
she
caught
it
in
her
mouth
,
turned
to
the
veranda
steps
,
and
flew
like
an
arrow
down
the
path
,
with
Rikki-tikki
behind
her
.
When
the
cobra
runs
for
her
life
,
she
goes
like
a
whip-lash
flicked
across
a
horse
's
neck
.
860
Rikki-tikki
knew
that
he
must
catch
her
,
or
all
the
trouble
would
begin
again
.
She
headed
straight
for
the
long
grass
by
the
thorn-bush
,
and
as
he
was
running
Rikki-tikki
heard
Darzee
still
singing
his
foolish
little
song
of
triumph
.
But
Darzee
's
wife
was
wiser
.
She
flew
off
her
nest
as
Nagaina
came
along
,
and
flapped
her
wings
about
Nagaina
's
head
.
If
Darzee
had
helped
they
might
have
turned
her
,
but
Nagaina
only
lowered
her
hood
and
went
on
.
