The Loyal Mongoose

A Brahmin lived with his wife and baby boy in a village. One day, the Brahmin brought a mongoose with him. He told his wife, “This pet will be our child’s companion. Treat it like our own son.” His wife took great care of the mongoose. One day, the Brahmin and his wife went to the temple. Their child was sleeping at home and the mongoose was guarding him. After they had left, a snake entered their house, but the mongoose killed it and saved the child’s life. Soon, the Brahmin’s wife entered the house. She saw the mongoose with blood stains near his mouth and thought he had harmed her son. So she hit him with a heavy box and killed him. Then she entered the child’s room and saw that he was sound asleep. Only when she saw the dead snake did she realise her mistake. But it was too late.
