Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Kipling Reader: Selections From the Books of Rudyard Kipling ´Rikki-Tikki-Tavi.´ At the hole where he went in Red-Eye called to Wrinkle-Skin. Hear what little Red-Eye saith: ´Nag, come up and dance with death!´ Eye to eye and head to head, (Keep the measure, Nag.) This shall end when one is dead; (At thy pleasure, Nag.) Turn for turn and twist for twist - (Run and hide thee, Nag.) Hah! The hooded Death has missed! (Woe betide thee, Nag!) This is the story of the great war that Rikki-tikki-tavi fought single-handed, through the bath-rooms of the big bungalow in Segowlee cantonment. Darzee, the tailor-bird, helped him, and Chuchundra, the muskrat, who never comes out into the middle of the floor, but always creeps round by the wall, gave him advice; hut Rikki-tikki did the real fighting. He was a mongoose, rather like a little cat in his fur and his tail, but quite like a weasel in his head and habits.
