Still
,
the
instant
's
delay
brought
Rikki-tikki
up
to
her
,
and
as
she
plunged
into
the
rat-hole
where
she
and
Nag
used
to
live
,
his
little
white
teeth
were
clenched
on
her
tail
,
and
he
went
down
with
her
--
and
very
few
mongooses
,
however
wise
and
old
they
may
be
,
care
to
follow
a
cobra
into
its
hole
.
It
was
dark
in
the
hole
;
and
Rikki-tikki
never
knew
when
it
might
open
out
and
give
Nagaina
room
to
turn
and
strike
at
him
.
He
held
on
savagely
,
and
stuck
out
his
feet
to
act
as
brakes
on
the
dark
slope
of
the
hot
,
moist
earth
.
862
Then
the
grass
by
the
mouth
of
the
hole
stopped
waving
,
and
Darzee
said
,
"
It
is
all
over
with
Rikki-tikki
!
We
must
sing
his
death
song
.
Valiant
Rikki-tikki
is
dead
!
For
Nagaina
will
surely
kill
him
underground
.
"
863
So
he
sang
a
very
mournful
song
that
he
made
up
on
the
spur
of
the
minute
,
and
just
as
he
got
to
the
most
touching
part
,
the
grass
quivered
again
,
and
Rikki-tikki
,
covered
with
dirt
,
dragged
himself
out
of
the
hole
leg
by
leg
,
licking
his
whiskers
.
Darzee
stopped
with
a
little
shout
.
Rikki-tikki
shook
some
of
the
dust
out
of
his
fur
and
sneezed
.
"
It
is
all
over
,
"
he
said
.
"
The
widow
will
never
come
out
again
.
"
And
the
red
ants
that
live
between
the
grass
stems
heard
him
,
and
began
to
troop
down
one
after
another
to
see
if
he
had
spoken
the
truth
.

Rikki-tikki
curled
himself
up
in
the
grass
and
slept
where
he
was
--
slept
and
slept
till
it
was
late
in
the
afternoon
,
for
he
had
done
a
hard
day
's
work
.
865
"
Now
,
"
he
said
,
when
he
awoke
,
"
I
will
go
back
to
the
house
866
Tell
the
Coppersmith
,
Darzee
,
and
he
will
tell
the
garden
that
Nagaina
is
dead
.
"
867
The
Coppersmith
is
a
bird
who
makes
a
noise
exactly
like
the
beating
of
a
little
hammer
on
a
copper
pot
;
and
the
reason
he
is
always
making
it
is
because
he
is
the
town
crier
to
every
Indian
garden
,
and
tells
all
the
news
to
everybody
who
cares
to
listen
.
As
Rikki-tikki
went
up
the
path
,
he
heard
his
"
attention
"
notes
like
a
tiny
dinner
gong
,
and
then
the
steady
"
Ding-dong-tock
!
Nag
is
dead
--
dong
!
Nagaina
is
dead
!
Ding-dong-tock
!
"
That
set
all
the
birds
in
the
garden
singing
,
and
the
frogs
croaking
,
for
Nag
and
Nagaina
used
to
eat
frogs
as
well
as
little
birds
.

When
Rikki
got
to
the
house
,
Teddy
and
Teddy
's
mother
(
she
looked
very
white
still
,
for
she
had
been
fainting
)
and
Teddy
's
father
came
out
and
almost
cried
over
him
;
and
that
night
he
ate
all
that
was
given
him
till
he
could
eat
no
more
,
and
went
to
bed
on
Teddy
's
shoulder
,
where
Teddy
's
mother
saw
him
when
she
came
to
look
late
at
night
.
869
"
He
saved
our
lives
and
Teddy
's
life
,
"
she
said
to
her
husband
.
"
Just
think
,
he
saved
all
our
lives
.
"
870
Rikki-tikki
woke
up
with
a
jump
,
for
the
mongooses
are
light
sleepers
.
